Protecting the ocean, safeguarding humanity
Nine months ahead of the United Nations Conference on the Oceans to be held in Nice in June 2025, the Nice Climate Summit explores the issues involved in preserving and promoting the Ocean. A veritable compass for humanity and a true climate regulator, the Ocean is nevertheless in danger.
A place for exchange and reflection, the Nice Climate Summit welcomes, for this second edition, leading scientific experts and political and economic players from all over the world to share their visions and experiences.
For almost two days, conferences, keynotes and dialogues between experts will enable them to share not only the issues at stake, but also the solutions deployed and those yet to be invented.
Relive the 2024 event !
