Hosted by the Government of the Philippines and carrying the theme, “25 Years of Partnerships for Healthy Oceans, People and Economies: Moving as One with the Global Ocean Agenda”, the EAS Congress 2018 aims to usher in better, stronger and smarter regional actions that are strategically aligned with the key principles and targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to the global ocean agenda.
The EAS Congress 2018 is expected to engage over 1,000 participants from national and local government, academia, business, international organizations and NG0s. This will be the sixth in a series of triennial ocean-focused Congresses organized by PEMSEA, beginning in 2003 in Putrajaya, Malaysia. It will feature an International Conference and Environmental Exhibition, the Fifth EAS Youth Forum (YF5), PEMSEA Network of Local Governments (PNLG) Forum 2018, and will culminate with the Sixth Ministerial Forum.
