G1 Global 2025 - Global Ocean Strategy: Japan’s Pivotal Role in a Sustainable Blue Economy

The accelerating pace of marine economic development and international politics demands new thinking. This panel explores how to optimize the framework for a sustainable Blue Economy and, crucially, how to accelerate progress through a robust link between science and policy. The international community is actively creating new frameworks, with the UN finalizing a treaty for the high seas and the WTO concluding an agreement to curb wasteful fishing subsidies. This is an era that requires a nexus of science, politics, economics, and the environment. By convening experts from business, government, and academia, this session aims to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and generate fresh strategies for Japan and its global partners to solve shared challenges.The accelerating pace of marine economic development and international politics demands new thinking.
