The Sustainable Ocean Solutions (SOS) Summit gathers global leaders from science, policy, and innovation to shape the future of the ocean. With interactive panels, expert presentations and workshops designed to spark bold ideas and real collaboration, the goal of the summit is to build strategic partnerships and launch pioneering initiatives that unlock the ocean’s capacity to provide real solutions to the climate crisis.
The summit in San Francisco will be followed by a hands-on voyage aboard the historic Statsraad Lehmkuhl vessel to San Diego that offers real-time ocean science and a shared space to explore ocean challenges, build connections and spark leadership for a sustainable future.
