BBNJ Xiamen

The 2026 International Conference on BBNJ: Science and Governance will be held in Xiamen on Nov 5, during the 2026 World Ocean Week in Xiamen.
The BBNJ Agreement — formally the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction — is a significant ocean-related international treaty under the framework of the United Nations. It was adopted on June 19, 2023, and entered into force on Jan 17, 2026.
Scientists, policymakers, representatives of international organizations, and ocean-sector leaders from around the world will gather to address the frontiers of deep-sea biodiversity protection — from cutting-edge science and technological innovation to global governance.
Discussions will focus on how scientific research can improve conservation efforts and how countries can work together to protect the environment. The conference aims to advance deep-sea exploration through science, strengthen ocean governance through innovation, and open a new chapter in global marine conservation through cooperation.
The conference is expected to strengthen the link between BBNJ science and policy, as well as contribute to a more coordinated global effort to conserve deep-sea biodiversity.
