Strategies, solutions and initiatives for Ocean Rights

UN is strongly centering Oceans in the eye of the storm of the Earth’s and human’s life for this decade (2021-2030) with the impellent challenge i) to radically change our relationship with oceans ii) to achieve a sustainable and equitable ocean economy iii) for life on the planet to survive and thrive.
Within a multifaceted Ocean voyage, in which several UN initiatives (i.e The Ocean Decade 2021- 2030; The Ocean Race 2022-2023; the UN Ocean Conference 2022; the UN World Ocean Day 2022), events ( in which hundreds and thousands of marine scientists, economists, advocates, NGOs, policy-makers and governments focus problems, imagine solutions and promote collective actions to revitalize Oceans, we propose the “Ocean Rights: for our Earth’s life” UNIBO ISA Topic 2022-2023 to overall reflect and discuss on the new perspective of how Ocean Rights must be harmonized and integrated with other rights, such as Human Rights, Economic Rights etc., building up a Blue Justice to reconcile Humanities to Oceans.
