Rare at the 2025 UN Ocean Conference
The third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) took place in Nice, France from June 9-13 2025 convening nearly 200 countries and over 15,000 participants to work together on accelerating action and mobilizing all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean.
Countries adopted the Nice Ocean Action Plan, which emphasized the interlinkages between the ocean, climate action, and biodiversity, and called for global action across UN frameworks to help ensure the health, sustainable use, and resilience of the ocean. The declaration also recognized that accelerating ocean action requires a significant increase in global ocean finance – and ensuring this finance is more accessible and equitable.
Rare’s engagement at UNOC3 centered on advancing community-led conservation of the ocean through empowered local leadership, people and community-driven policy, and innovative financial solutions for delivering resources to communities on nature’s frontlines. This report-out includes highlights from Rare’s engagement with government officials, ocean advocates, partner NGOs, and other members of civil society.
