Roundtable: Taking Stock and Accelerating Delivery of Ocean Renewable Energy

​At COP30, the ocean was centre stage, embodied by the Blue Package, a set of commitments and framework designed to accelerate and scale up ocean-climate solutions by 2028. The Blue Package is guided by the Ocean Breakthroughs, science-based targets for 2030, that span five key sectors – marine conservation, aquatic food, renewable energy, shipping and tourism – to deliver real progress.

​This roundtable is being gathered on the margins of Our Ocean to take stock of the progress made under the Ocean Renewable Energy Breakthrough. As momentum grows globally around offshore renewable energy and sustainable ocean economies, there is increasing recognition that implementation now requires stronger coordination across climate, ocean, finance, biodiversity, and energy systems.

​The roundtable will also preview the report on Africa’s ocean-based renewable energy resources could deliver substantial economic benefits, which highlights the transformative opportunity offshore renewable energy presents for Africa’s energy security, economic development, climate resilience, and sustainable ocean economies.

The roundtable will be followed by a lunch reception.

By invitation only.
