Summary

The World Ocean Council organised the Sustainable Ocean Summit 2016 (SOS) in Rotterdam, from November 30, 2016 ‐ December 2, 2016. The SOS 2016 theme was “Ocean 2030: Sustainable Development Goals and the Ocean Business Community”. The SOS provides a global platform for leadership companies and organizations to advance the development and
implementation of industry‐driven solutions to ocean sustainability challenges. The inputs of the discussion at SOS 2016 will be taken into account by the Blue‐Action WP6 and WP8, in particular when it comes to fostering an active exchange of information with business community operating in the Arctic and specifically to providing improved model data for
significantly reducing operating risk in this region.
