Our Ocean Countdown, Greece 2024: An Ocean of Potential [[link removed]]
Friday, Feb. 9 // 11–11:45 am (ET)
The Our Ocean Conference was first launched under the initiative of the US Department of State in 2014. Since then, it has become a forum for dialogue that brings together governments, international organizations, academia, the private sector, and NGOs that share a common vision for the protection of the oceans and taking action to support this vision. The conference focuses on six Areas of Action: promoting marine protected areas, fostering a sustainable blue economy, tackling the climate crisis, supporting maritime security, advancing sustainable fisheries, and combating marine pollution.
As part of Greece's efforts to build support for this year's Our Ocean Conference and encourage ambitious announcements, the Wilson Center and the Embassy of Greece in Washington, DC will host a special dialogue on Greece's goals for the Our Ocean Conference. This event will feature Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, George Gerapetritis and the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, John Kerry.

Peacebuilding in the South Caucasus [[link removed]]Thursday, Feb. 8 // 12–1:00 pm (ET)
Since Azerbaijan’s September 19-20, 2023 military offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh, which resulted in the region’s de facto government surrendering to Azerbaijan, many observers have declared the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict to be over. However, tensions remain high on both sides. Verbally committed to achieving lasting peace, Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders have expressed optimism that a peace agreement will be reached in early 2024. A peace agreement, however, is different from lasting peace on the ground. This moderated panel discussion will examine peacebuilding in the South Caucasus from both an academic and a practitioner perspective.
