The event aimed to inform attendees of the multifaceted contributions seaweed is making to, and its potential to do even more for, the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals under review by this year's HLPF. It called for the creation of a global dialogue and coordination mechanism for mainstreaming the rapid growth and value of seaweed and its by-products into sustainable development action on the road to the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) in 2025.
The event enhanced member state's understanding of seaweed’s potential as a regenerative solution to improve livelihoods, especially for women, and to address multiple global crises. The event also contributed to the international public dialogue on the need to formalize the trade policy, development, and science nexus for the seaweed sector.
