- Tokyo, Japan
- 12 - 13 March 2025
NP-GAN representatives will be attending the 12th World Ocean Summit in Tokyo in March 2025, hosted by Economist Impact, with the support of official host The Nippon Foundation.
With over 14,000 islands, 34,000km of coastline, and a blue economy that is forecasted to reach 28 trillion yen by 2030, Japan as a maritime nation offers a rich cultural and historical perspective.
NP-Gan will join the summit as it convenes the widest cross-section of the ocean community, from business and finance to government, national and international policy-makers, civil society and academia. It is designed to instigate action to develop the sustainable ocean economy; to encourage new partnerships across industries, with NGOs, scientists, technology developers and investors.
By bringing together all stakeholders in the ocean ecosystem, the summit provides the perfect platform to inspire new synergies, solutions and strategies on the track to meet the 2030 targets in UN SDG 14.
The summit in Tokyo will continue action-based conversations on the key themes from previous World Ocean Summits, as well as provide a vital opportunity for participants from Asia to engage with the global ocean community ahead of the United Nations Oceans Conference in June 2025.
