World Conference on Marine Biodiversity 2026

Date: 17 November 2026 - 20 November 2026

Type: In-Person

The 7th edition of the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity will be organised in Bruges on 17-20 November 2026. Find out more about the venue here.

The WCMB 2026 will fly the UN Ocean Decade flag, as it has been endorsed as a UN Ocean Decade Event. The overall theme of the Conference is “The marine biodiversity insights we need, for the ocean we want”. As the Conference will take place a little over halfway through the UN Ocean Decade, it will provide an excellent opportunity to take stock of ongoing actions and initiatives, but also evaluate what still needs to be tackled by the end of the Decade.
