For this exhibition, the Ismaili Centre, Lisbon, has partnered with Focused on Nature (FON), the Swiss association created by Prince Hussain Aga Khan to promote, through the power of photography, awareness of environmental causes and to finance some of the best wildlife charities in the world for particular species and ecosystems of interest.
The 2022 UN Ocean Conference, co-hosted by the Governments of Kenya and Portugal, will take place on 27 June - 1 July 2022, in Lisbon. The overall theme of the Conference is: “Scaling up ocean action based on science and innovation for the implementation of Goal 14: stocktaking, partnerships and solutions”.
The science is clear - the ocean is facing unprecedented threats as a result of human activities. Its health and ability to sustain life will only get worse as the world population grows and human activities increase. If we want to address some of the most defining issues of our time such as climate change, food insecurity, diseases and pandemics, diminishing biodiversity, economic inequality and even conflicts and strife, we must act now to protect the state of our ocean.
We invite all the Jamat to visit the exhibitions.
