As business, policy, and finance leaders convene for this year’s World Ocean Summit, we need to move beyond platitudes to  urgent action and measure results in the water. If we are serious about building a resilient ocean economy, we must recognize a simple truth: nature is our best business partner.

The world agreed in 2022 to protect at least 30% of land and ocean by 2030 (30×30). By achieving 30×30 we rechart humanity’s course. Protecting coastal waters is critical.

As global leaders from government, business, civil society, and science gather this week in Davos for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue,” we want to remind government and business leaders of a simple truth: the environment underpins our economic prosperity and social systems.

Through grassroots action, stronger protections, and sustainable solutions, our network drives lasting change for the ocean
