World Oceans Summit

The program will include:

TROUBLED SEAS: OCEANS AND THE OCEANS ECONOMY
What we know about our oceans, and what we don't—and what important economic things oceans do for us

Moderated by Geoff Carr, Science Editor, The Economist

A BROADER OCEANS DIALOGUE
In the face of further intense 'industrialisation' of the seas, the conservation dialogue around oceans can be curiously one-dimensional. The movement on land is towards a broader partnership—of government, business and interest groups. As yet, there scare example for the seas

Moderator by James Astill, Energy and Environment Editor, The Economist

OCEANS GOVERNANCE IN CRISIS?
The oceans are a "commons", with no clear boundaries. The great "tragedy of the commons" is as much about a failure of governance—at both national and international levels—as other causes. International conventions such as the Law of the Sea reflect governance concepts more at home in the eighteenth century than in the twenty-first, as industrialisation of the ocean escalates

Moderated by Dominic Zeigler, Asia Editor, The Economist
