The first IOI Alumni CPD webinar in the 2024 series explored the crucial relationship between climate change and Ocean sustainability and policy making post-COP28. Experts discussed the evolving Ocean governance frameworks, current adaptation strategies, and fisheries resilience in the light of new climate challenges.

Distinguished experts examined how knowledge-based institutions such as the IOI can contribute to achieving effective solutions that meet the global SDGs and ambitions, while also considering the role that Ocean literate communities can play in accelerating this transition.

The third webinar in the series focused on Deep Seabed Mining which currently presents a complex spectrum of opportunities and immense challenges that demand thoughtful examination.

This engaging session focused on the new treaty of the "high seas" on biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction.

As part of IOI's continuing commitment to IOI Alumni, a series of topical webinars are planned for 2023 with the aim of sharing unique perspectives and state of the art developments. Expert speakers shall offer new insights, while focussed interactions between practitioners and the speakers are designed to add cutting edge knowledge to experience.
