Venue

TBC

Overview

At the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in December 2022, the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), which includes a provision to designate 30% of the Earth’s surface as protected areas, was adopted. Additionally, under the Climate Change Convention, the Ocean and Climate Change Dialogue also evaluates and recommends nature-based solutions in the ocean as beneficial activities for both climate change mitigation and adaptation.

In line with these demands and trends in the international community, it is expected that the demand for localized conservation and protection efforts in marine ecosystem management will further expand.

KOEM recognizes the necessity of information exchange among neighboring countries for the progressive formulation of regional-based ecosystem management policies, supporting and executing policies for monitoring, protecting, and sustainably utilizing marine ecosystems in Korea.

Expected Output/s:

  • Share the current status of national-level marine ecosystem management policies within the East Asian region and efforts toward international treaty compliance.
  • Discuss considerations and cooperation measures for the progressive formulation of future national policies.
