The Economist Presents the World Oceans Summit
How can the economic potential of the oceans be realised in a sustainable way? Is there a broader "corporate oceans responsibility" that makes sense for business? Could new governance frameworks deliver better results for the oceans? What are the new solutions for fishing? How can business take the lead in reducing our carbon footprint in the oceans?
The Economist is convening the "World Oceans Summit" from February 22-24, 2012, in Singapore, for a robust and unsentimental examination of these and other critical issues affecting the future of the seas, and to debate the importance of the sustainable use of the oceans.
Featured summit speakers include: Aron Cramer, President and CEO, BSR; Robert Zoellick, President, World Bank; Teo Chee Hean Deputy Prime Minister, Government of Singapore; Sylvia Earle, Explorer-in-Residence, National Geographic Society; Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary, United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity; Tim Smith, Chief Executive Officer, North Asia, Maersk Line; Malcolm Preston, Global Head of Sustainability and Climate Change Pricewaterhouse Coopers; Spyros Polemis Chairman, International Chamber of Shipping; and Paul Holthus, Executive Director, World Ocean Council, among others.
