Dubai, UAE – The second day of the World Maritime Day Parallel Event 2025, hosted by the UAE, featured two specialized panel sessions. These sessions addressed key issues shaping the future of global maritime governance. Discussions focused on the protection of biodiversity in the high seas and the critical importance of human capacity development for more sustainable oceans. The sessions saw wide participation from international experts, policymakers, shipping sector representatives, and civil society organizations. All contributed to a rich exchange of knowledge and forward-looking strategies.

Highlights
  • Panel One: Shipping’s Role with BBNJ as Oceans Treaty to Protect Marine Biodiversity on the High Seas
  • Panel Two: Capacity Development for Sustainable Oceans

Panel One: Shipping’s Role with BBNJ as Oceans Treaty to Protect Marine Biodiversity on the High Seas

The second day of the World Maritime Day Parallel Event opened with an in-depth discussion on the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) Agreement. This agreement is hailed as a historic turning point in the protection of the world’s oceans. Panellists explored the direct implications of the agreement on international shipping operations. These include environmental impact assessments, navigation routes, and the establishment of marine protected areas in the high seas.

Speakers stressed the importance of harmonizing the provisions of the BBNJ Agreement with the regulatory frameworks of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). This is to avoid jurisdictional overlaps and ensure effective implementation.

The discussion also addressed benefit-sharing and capacity-building as essential pillars to ensure equitable access to marine resources and advanced technologies. The shipping industry’s potential role in biodiversity monitoring and scientific data collection was also highlighted. This is a valuable contribution to global marine research and conservation efforts.

Panel Two: Capacity Development for Sustainable Oceans

The last panel of the day highlighted the importance of human capacity in advancing sustainable maritime development.

Speakers emphasized the need to enhance maritime education in developing countries, including Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). This aims to equip professionals with the necessary technical skills and institutional frameworks. Integrating topics such as sustainability, climate action, and pollution prevention into training programs was highlighted. This is essential for preparing the next generation of maritime leaders.

The session also addressed the importance of protecting workers’ rights, health, and safety during the transition to a low-carbon economy. This was recognized as a fundamental component of climate justice. Speakers underscored the vital role of non-governmental organizations and civil society in advocating for ocean protection and policymaking. They called for reducing fragmentation across UN and international organization initiatives through a more integrated and holistic approach.

Moreover, the session showcased successful capacity-building initiatives led by the IMO. These initiatives have delivered tangible results in strengthening maritime sectors across various coastal nations worldwide.
