5th Indian Ocean Conference

About the Conference

The challenge of climate change is the most globalised one for an entire generation with the roots of the solution lying in local action. While the pandemic has put large parts of the world on a halt for months, climate change will lead to gradual devastations. The need of the hour is for the stakeholders of IOR to move ahead with community based indigenous solutions to create a carbon neutral world.

It is to further discuss and deliberate on these issues that India Foundation is organising the 5th Indian Ocean Conference – IOC 2021 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The theme of IOC 2021 is “Ecology, Economy, Epidemic”.
