The Sustainable Blue Economy Conference is the first global conference on the blue economy in Africa. Participants from around the world are coming together in Nairobi on November 26 to 28 to share ideas on how to transition to a blue economy that:

• Harnesses the  potential of our oceans, seas, lakes and rivers to improve the lives of all, particularly developing states and women and girls
• Leverages the latest innovations, scientific advances and best practices to build prosperity while conserving our waters for future generations

The conference will promote a blue economy that is, above all, inclusive, sustainable and prosperous.

The program and participants will be announced closer to the date and can be found on the website.
