Blue Innovation Reception for the Nature Pledge in Panama on Peace Boat

As part of the 123rd Global Voyage, Peace Boat will next visit the port of Cristobal on Thursday June 18. During this visit the organization will carry out various activities both touristic and educational, including programs to promote a sustainable blue economy and nature-based solutions within the framework of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

On the evening of June 18, Peace Boat will host a special “Blue Innovation Reception” onboard our ship. This event will showcase the partnerships for an inclusive blue economy. Featuring keynote speeches, panel discussions, and performances, the event will bring together representatives from the diplomatic community, the United Nations, foundations and the private sector, sharing best practices for responsible ocean stewardship with a focus on learning from the Nature Pledge of Panama. Peace Boat will also present its “Youth for the SDGs” scholarship program, held in collaboration with Blue Planet Alliance, now an officially endorsed ‘Contribution’ to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development by IOC UNESCO, and Ecoship, an environmentally sustainable passenger ship, working towards decarbonization of the maritime sector and innovative solutions for a sustainable blue economy.
