Proud to attend the 2023 United Nation World Oceans Day

Bake to Delight is to proud to be a part of the 8 youth leaders worldwide selected to attend the 2023 United Nations World Oceans Day in New York City.

Oceans Day was first declared as 8 June, 1992 in Rio de Janeiro at the Global Forum, a parallel event at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) which provided an opportunity for non-government organizations (NGOs) and civil society to express their views on environmental issues.

The Declaration was inspired by an event organized on that day by the Oceans Institute of Canada and supported by the Canadian Government: “OCEANS DAY AT GLOBAL FORUM – THE BLUE PLANET”. The programme featured international experts, opinion leaders and those in a position to speak for the oceans’ contributions to sustaining the Blue Planet.

The 2023 exhibition at the UN HQ in New York showcased winning images from the past decade since the competition’s inception.

At the day of the event, I was so thrilled to meeting with cool people such as H.E. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations; Warren Hoburg, NASA Astronaut; Jason Momoa, Actor and UN Environment Programme Advocate for Life Below Water; Ray Dalio, Founder of Bridgewater Associates and Co-Founder of OceanX; and many more.
