The main theme of the conferenceis "Accelerating Action and Mobilizing All Stakeholders for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Ocean." The event will bring together government representatives, the scientific community, civil society, and the private sector to discuss key issues such as the impact of climate change on oceans, loss of marine biodiversity, plastic pollution, and sustainable management of marine resources.

The event is co-organized by France and Costa Rica.

As part of the preparations for the conference, the "One Ocean" Scientific Congress will take place from June 4 to 6, 2025, in Nice, organized by CNRS and IFREMER. This congress will provide the scientific foundation for discussions at the upcoming conference.
