About Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute
In the year 1968, with its basic objective of improving the ‘quality’ of life of the people of Canada and India by building and strengthening intellectual and cultural linkages through academic research, dialogue and exchange, Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute started as a bi-national organization promoting understanding between India and Canada.
About the Conference
There has never been a more critical time for oceans and marine life than now. The threats of overfishing, climate change, and pollution are expected to cause a cumulative loss of at least USD $428 billion to the global economy.
As a step to combat this issue, the United Nations came up with the Sustainable Development Goals (‘SDG’) under which SDG 14.6 specifically deals with the issue of sustainable fishing and ocean management. In a bid to fulfil the mandate of the SDGs by 2030 as aimed, international organizations and countries globally seem to work together.
Through this international conference, they aim to raise awareness and interest in international trade law, marine life, fisheries, the blue economy, climate change, and such seminal happenings.
The conference will feature panel discussions, expert talks, and paper presentations. We intend on inviting environmental lawyers, academicians, economic and industry experts, law/oceanology/business, etc. students, and research scholars to participate and present papers at the international conference.
