Capitol Hill Ocean Week 2023<\/h1>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\"\"<\/p>\n

This years Capitol Hill Ocean Week (CHOW) met in Washington, DC and virtually from June 6 \u2013 8, 2023 to explore the ocean-climate connection and how we can make ocean conservation part of climate strategies and nationally determined contributions to address climate change.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A complex, interconnected network of biology, chemistry, and physical forces work together to sustain life on Earth. Change to one system effects all. Impacts ripple locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our social and economic systems are part of the Earth system and now the main drivers of change.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding global climate change and mitigating and adapting to its impacts is inextricably linked to our one ocean and its biodiversity. How we manage our global ocean to ensure it thrives for future generations is central to combatting climate change, protecting the health of coastal communities, and sustaining our economies.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The CHOW 2023 program was slightly different from past CHOWs. We hosted a day on Capitol Hill on June 6 then moved to the Ronald Reagan Building for the conference on June 7 and 8. The week culminated with the Ocean Awards Gala on the evening of June 8, World Oceans Day.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n

We are grateful to our generous sponsors, partners, and all our participants. It is with your collaboration and support that Capitol Hill Ocean Week continues to be a success year after year.<\/p>\n
