This important event provided our Foundation with an opportunity to bring environmental topics, with a particular focus on marine ecosystems, into a global platform that connects thought leaders and changemakers from around the world. It was a unique moment for dialogue on the challenges women face in the global economy and facilitated conversations and actions aimed at empowering women economically, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity and innovation.<\/p>\n

Seven plenary sessions were held, addressing a range of current topics, including AI, climate justice, cybersecurity, and longevity, while tackling crucial issues such as gender equality and women\u2019s empowerment.<\/p>\n

In the panel \u201cClimate Justice: Bridging the Gap Between Policy and Action\u201d <\/i><\/strong>(watch the full video)<\/a>, Marevivo<\/strong> presented the perspective of the sea, highlighting its essential role for life on the planet and shedding light on the numerous human activities that threaten the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. Everything is interconnected, and it is vital for humanity to re-establish a harmonious relationship with nature and the environment. For a sustainable future, ecology must be placed at the heart of political and economic decisions.<\/p>\n

The intervention emphasised how the ocean, not only as the planet\u2019s main climate regulator but also as an indispensable resource for human survival, is facing an unprecedented crisis. Threats include not only biodiversity loss but also plastic pollution, chemical pollutants from agricultural and industrial activities, overfishing, and climate change, all of which severely impact ecosystems and coastal communities. It was also highlighted how water, a resource that is increasingly scarce and precious, often lies at the centre of conflicts and forced migrations, further exacerbated by the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

With a pragmatic approach, Marevivo<\/strong> issued a call to bridge the gap between climate policies and tangible actions, proposing targeted solutions to protect the sea and biodiversity and to restore damaged ecosystems. These include the creation of additional Marine Protected Areas and the adoption of sustainable practices.<\/p>\n

Through the international campaign \u201cONLY ONE \u2013 One Planet, One Ocean, One Health\u201d<\/i><\/strong>, Marevivo<\/strong> underscored its commitment to raising awareness among citizens and institutions about the urgent need for ecological transition. Anchored on four pillars: energy transition, food transition, circular economy, and biodiversity conservation, the campaign stressed the importance of educating new generations, promoting sustainable resource management, and fostering international cooperation to ensure an equitable and sustainable future.<\/p>\n

The Women Economic Forum 2024<\/strong> once again demonstrated that change is driven by dialogue and collaboration. Here, the voice of the sea, represented by Marevivo<\/strong>, found its place, offering a fresh perspective on one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the climate crisis. Understanding and defending the sea may be the key to solving it.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”48442,48444,48446,48448,48450″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]
