A look back at the World Government Summit 2025 in Dubai. Patricia Ricard, President of the Institut Océanographique Paul Ricard, joined the ‘Ocean without Waste’ panel to discuss the role of waste management in protecting the oceans. Many thanks to H.E. Dr. Amna Al Dahak, Minister of Climate Change of the United Arab Emirates, who introduced the session.
While AI and technologies were a key topic, the Ocean really came into its own during these days.
This prestigious event brought together world leaders, policy makers and innovators to discuss the most pressing challenges and opportunities shaping the future of governance and sustainability.
A strong voice for ocean protection: the presence of Patricia Ricard underlined the essential role of ocean preservation and sustainability in shaping future policy. As climate change and environmental degradation accelerate, discussions on sustainable solutions have never been more urgent.
The theme of this year’s summit was ‘Shaping Tomorrow’s Governments’, providing an opportunity to see how global collaboration can bring about positive change for our planet.
