From ocean entrepreneurs to impact investors to innovators, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation’s Ocean Innovators Platform (OIP) brings you conversations with change makers dedicated to a sustainable blue economy.

In this episode, we sit down with John Auckland, the Co-Founder and CEO of Seafields, a blue carbon technology company and project developer. John shares insights into Seafields’ innovative approach to restoring ocean biodiversity and mitigating carbon emissions through the cultivation and processing of floating seaweed, Sargassum. As we delve into topics ranging from carbon dioxide removal (CDR) to scaling up solutions for the ocean, John provides valuable perspectives on the role of science in accelerating progress in the ocean space.

Polar Symposium 2024 From Arctic to Antarctic
22.02. – 23.02.2024
Monaco

Join us at the Polar Symposium 2024 From Arctic to Antarctic: The Cold is Getting Hot! that will take place on 22 & 23 February 2024 in Monaco.

The polar symposium will convene, for the second time, leading scientists to discuss how, how fast and in what ways changes in our planet’s polar regions are affecting Earth climate, living and social systems and how this concerns us all. The event will inform management, policies and collective action in the poles and feed into processes at international and regional levels. It will serve as a landmark dialogue reaffirming the role of science in decision making and revisiting the critical role of the cryosphere in a changing climate.

The Symposium is being organised by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation with the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) as co-conveners, in collaboration with the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco – the Prince Albert I Foundation, the Scientific Center of Monaco, the European Polar Board, and the World Economic Forum.

Recognising their expertise and work on the subject, a number of key partners and experts will feed the talks, including the participation of early career scientists. The Symposium is privileged as an in-person event and hosted at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco and available on streaming. Convened under the presidency of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, it will reassert the priority of the Foundation for polar regions and amplify the call for dialogue across sciences and policies.
