TIDAL SHIFTS takes place at NEO Gallery, a contemporary art space in Nice’s Port district—just steps from the UNOC3 Blue Zone and a 10-minute walk from the Palais des Congrès (Green Zone). Throughout the week, the gallery will host a wide range of activities open to all.
In addition to immersive installations and audiovisual works, the program features daily panels, community discussions, film screenings, and sound-based experiences that connect ocean science with art, culture, and public dialogue.
Bringing together artists, researchers, educators, and youth voices, TIDAL SHIFTS offers a space to explore how creative collaboration can contribute to marine conservation and recognize the Ocean as a source of knowledge, connection, and wonder.
Unite for Nature – An IUCN Reception at UNOC3
RECEPTION
Presented by: IUCN
If you are an IUCN constituent, please join IUCN for a special reception as we come together to protect our one ocean for future generations.
The IUCN Red List reveals that over 40% of coral species and one-third of sharks, rays, and chimaeras face extinction. But there is hope—Marine Protected Areas and cutting-edge conservation science show that we can safeguard marine biodiversity. 3D
