OneReef Elevates Indigenous Voices at the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference

OneReef and the Ocean Resilience & Climate Alliance co-curated a public session hosted by Bloomberg Philanthropies open to 200 guests at the 2025 United Nations Ocean Conference.


Dr. Nicole Yamase, OneReef’s Impact Director, facilitated a powerful dialogue with leaders from the Pacific, the Arctic and beyond, who shared their lived experiences from the frontlines of climate change.


Communities on the frontlines of climate change are uniquely positioned to lead solutions, as their traditional knowledge, built over generations, offers powerful, place-based tools to steward ecosystems, enhance resilience, and guide effective climate responses.


OneReef is proud to have supported this conversation and to partner with community leaders advocating for bold, inclusive ocean-climate action rooted in lived experience and Indigenous leadership.


Public Launch of The Oceania Collective


The Oceania Collective is a dynamic alliance of Pacific organizations dedicated to advancing community-driven solutions for ocean-climate resilience.
