About the conference

Coastal Futures is the largest ocean conference of its kind in the UK and the 2025 edition will provide delegates with wide-ranging coverage of the critical current and future issues. The conference provides unrivalled knowledge sharing, networking, promotion, and training opportunities.

Coastal Futures conferences offer unparalleled networking opportunities with over 750 delegates from 200 organisations across two-days in January every year. This year’s theme is ‘The Path to 2030’. The date is etched across international goals, government policies, and legal targets.  The UK has a new government, and this parliamentary term will take the country to the brink of 2030.

Politicians, NGOs, industry, and government agencies, all have 2030 fixed firmly in their sights as the year when the world should have achieved many of the most important aims and ambitions of our time.

There are just five years until 2030. Is the UK and the world on track to reach these ambitions?
