the 6th edition of “Forum Mondial de la Mer” will be hosted by Bizerte on September 22, 2023, will explore the theme “The Ocean and the Mediterranean in the Age of Boiling.”
This edition follows the dramatic heatwave episode of the summer of 2023 and coincides with a critical period, as the Secretary-General of the United Nations recently sounded the alarm on what we can now characterise as the era of climate boiling.
Around forty experts from the prospective think tank “Ocean 2050” will delve into this alarming phenomenon, demanding immediate attention and concrete actions.
During this day of intense debates, knowledge sharing, and forward-thinking reflections, the speakers will enlighten participants on the following crucial subjects:
The Ocean in 2050 as we envision it: What are our aspirations for the Ocean in 2050? How can we preserve and shape it for future generations?
The Mediterranean boiling sea?: Facing environmental and climatic challenges, how will the Mediterranean evolve in the coming decades? What measures must be taken to safeguard it?
Following the 5th edition of the Forum in 2022, the international and national expert group “OCEAN 2050”, the first prospective think tank on maritime matters, drafted the “Bizerte Declaration.”
The Forum Mondial de la Mer-Bizerte has quickly become a platform for all voices, from Mediterranean coastal countries to the African continent, with Bizerte as its northernmost point.
