Location: Rachel Carson Center, fourth floor, Conference Room, Leopoldstr. 11a, 80802 Munich, Germany
This Tuesday, Alexis Katechakis, board member of the German UN Ocean Decade Committee and team member of the NGO Aegean Rebreath, will introduce us to the UN Ocean Decade at this Tuesday Discussion.
Life as we know it on Earth began in the sea. To this day, the ocean provides us with the basic necessities that make our existence possible. Every human being, our societies, and the economy depend on healthy and productive marine ecosystems. Dr. Alexis Katechakis, marine scientist and freelance corporate sustainability strategist, member of the board of the UN Ocean Decade Committee in Germany and team member of the NGO Aegean Rebreath, takes us on a journey into fascinating marine ecosystems, explaining how the ocean provides for us, why it is under threat, and what options exist to live in harmony with the ocean again. He focuses in particular on the UN Ocean Decade and its underlying goals, gives examples of solutions from science, society, and business, and provides inspiration on how we can take action ourselves.
The Tuesday Discussions are free and open to the public.
