Register for updates surrounding the VIRTUAL celebration of United Nations World Oceans Day (UN WOD) on Friday 7 June 2024.

This year's United Nations World Oceans Day (UN WOD) celebrates the theme ‘Awaken New Depths’. In celebration of the 2024 theme, the United Nations are joining forces with global policy-makers, scientists, managers, thought leaders, and artists  to showcase how our relationship to the ocean needs to urgently change, since our efforts to date have only skimmed the surface. To motivate widespread momentum for the ocean, we need to awaken new depths.

The virtual livestream celebration is free, open-to-the-public, and accessible worldwide to promote global engagement with vital ocean education. The annual event will  take place on Friday 7 June 2024 and is hosted by the United Nations Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, Office of Legal Affairs (DOALOS) in partnership with Oceanic Global.
