This session will provide a space for early-career ocean professionals (ECOPs) and youth to reflect on their experiences, insights, and aspirations following the UN Ocean Conference and related events. After a summary of the “Voices of Ocean Action” event held on June 3rd, the session will center on a roundtable discussion sharing ECOPs views and key takeaways. Speakers from diverse backgrounds will explore how UNOC played a crucial role in building connections, raising awareness and foster scientific outreach within and beyond the ocean community. The session will mark the end of the inspire area with fresh perspectives for future ECOPs and youth engagement.
