 c sectors is estimated between USD 3-6 trillion/year .  More than 3 billi

 o humanity. The value of the ecosystem is estimated at USD 30 billion annu
 ally and takes the form of oxygen clean water generation\; temperature reg
 ulation\; seaways\; landscape services\; and the provisions of fish and ot
 her essential marine resources. Today\, many countries are realizing the i
 mportance of healthy\, productive and resilient oceans and seas in the que
 st for a more sustainable future for all. Objective: This side event will

 proaches to address harmful incentives to marine biodiversity and ecosyste
 m conservation and maximize the use of beneficial ones in key sustainable
