Top 10 Recommendations
For hver af de 10 dialoger er der forud opstillet 10 anbefalinger, hvor dialogerne har til formål at indskrænke antallet til tre. Den ene anbefaling fastlægges ved online afstemning med inddragelse af de virtuelle deltagere (typisk mere end 1 mio. afgivne stemmer), den anden fastlægges af panelet ved dialogernes afslutning, den tredje afgøres ligeledes ved afstemning fra salen.
De 10 anbefalinger er:
◊ Launch a global agreement to save high seas marine biodiversity.
◊ Develop a global network of international marine protected areas.
◊ Expand and implement international institutional arrangments to protect the marine ◊ environment from land-based activities.
◊ Promote the creation of Marine Protected Areas designed and co-managed by artisanal fishers as a suitable tool to ensure marine governance and the sustainability of fisheries resources worldwide.
◊ Fishery management should be ecosystem-based, making allowance for the needs of all components of the ecosystem, including predators.
◊ Fishery management procedures should be agreed among stakeholders whenever possible, with management measures agreed in advance under realistic scenarios of future ecological and fishery conditions for several years.
◊ Create global ocean governance mechanisms to preserve biodiversity and genetic resources in a scenario of growing nationalization of the marine environment.
◊ Avoid ocean pollution by plastics through education and community collaboration.
◊ Protect the Oceans by adopting a Charter of Universal Responsabilities at the United Nations.
◊ Monitor and promote international coordinated research on ocean acidification and its effects on marine life and ecosystems.
.
Final recommendations
◊ Avoid ocean pollution by plastics through education and community collaboration.
◊ Launch a global agreement to save high seas marine biodiversity.
◊ Take immediate action to develop a global network of international marine protected areas, while fostering ecosystem based fisheries management, with special consideration for small-scale fishing interests.

De 10 Sustainable Development Dialogues
De i alt ti dialoger er en enestående mulighed for at høre begavede mennesker fra hele verden reflektere over bæredygtig udvikling – hvad det indebærer, og hvordan den kan implementeres. Men FNs webcast-system er ganske omfattende, så jeg har lagt den engelske udgave af de ti Sustainable Development Dialogues ind på bloggen her:
1) Sustainable development as an answer to the economic and financial crises.
2) Unemployment, decent work and migrations.
3) Sustainable development for fighting poverty.
4) The economics of SD, including sustainable patterns of production and consumption.
5) Forests.
6) Food and nutrition security.
7) Sustainable energy for all.
8) Water.
9) Sustainable cities and innovation.
10) Oceans.
