From May 12 till August 12 of this year, Yeosu will be the host to one of the biggest events the world knows, the World Expo. Under the main theme, The Living Ocean and Coast: Diversity of Resources and Sustainable Activities, the Expo 2012 offers an excellent opportunity to raise awareness on the threats facing the marine environment and coastal populations and can be an important educational too
l for the general public. Together with a total of 106 countries and 9 international organizations we hope to bring this message across to the world. Under the lead of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) the United Nations and 24 UN entities will be present with a 1.000m2 space at the International Organizations Pavilion. The focus of the UN pavilion will be an exciting mix between multimedia and important facts. Through this way we hope to explain our visitors what they can do to help our planet and showcase the work and expertise of all the participating UN entities. Additionally, the UN pavilion will also explore the challenges, innovations, and solutions of a green economy in the blue world of oceans, coasts and their resources.
