Raising awareness of the protection of marine environments
This partnership will be an opportunity for the governors, clubs and Lions of France to commit to a maritimization of minds in order to contribute to the awareness of marine environments and their protection.
The Year of the Sea, an opportunity for all Lions to raise awareness
to the challenges of the ocean!
In 2023, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron announced a National Year of the Sea 2024-2025 to accompany the hosting of the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3), the 3rd edition of which will be held in Nice in June 2025. Jointly organized by the governments of France and Costa Rica, UNOC3 follows the first two held in New York in June 2017 and in Lisbon in June 2022, respectively. The objective of these meetings is to provide the solutions that the ocean needs to meet and solve the main challenges facing all of humanity.
