Lauren Sorkin dijo: "Habiendo trabajado con 98 ciudades miembro por más de seis años para atender retos de resiliencia, entendemos que movernos más allá del manejo de desperdicios hacia una economía circular requiere de colaboración a lo largo de todos los niveles en un municipio. Sumando la tensión adicional del COVID-19 en los sistemas de las ciudades, aceleraremos la transmisión de conocimientos entre ciudades a través de Urban Ocean para dar una nueva vida a los desperdicios con soluciones innovadoras que den múltiples beneficios, como empleos más seguros y sanos, economías locales más fuertes y un ambiente más saludable"

Trevor Bell said: “Walk into any community, any hamlet office, and ask to look in the filing cabinet,” “They don’t have a file that says ‘climate change’. They have a file that says ‘unemployment’, ‘poverty’, ‘homelessness’, ‘suicide.’ We know that climate change probably negatively impacts all of those issues. But it’s hard to talk to someone about climate change when they’re hungry”

Isabella Lövin said (about Ocean Solutions): “The global community needs ideas and leadership to maintain action for a healthy ocean. I am delighted to support the Virtual Ocean Dialogues and invite anyone with a concern for the ocean to participate in these critical discussions. All of our lives depend on a thriving ocean, and on fast-tracking solutions to rebuild a resilient global community. The health of our ocean underpins the oxygen we breathe, provides food and job security for billions, and is our greatest ally in tackling climate change. We must prioritize the ocean, and that is what this event aims to achieve,”

Peter Thomson said (about Ocean Solutions): “The UN Ocean Conference has been postponed, but will be held in Lisbon as soon as conditions allow. To fill the gap in the calendar left by this postponement, the World Economic Forum and the Friends of Ocean Action have organized the Virtual Ocean Dialogues on 1-5 June. I have big expectations as to the quality and outcomes of these high-level, expert dialogues, and in the build-up to the UN Ocean Conference will ensure their findings are made available to all. In support of the implementation of SDG 14, I’m confident the Virtual Ocean Dialogues will play a very constructive role in maintaining the momentum to conserve and sustainably use the ocean’s resources,”

By connecting leaders and innovators across the public and private sectors and beyond, and pooling ideas and resources, we can facilitate significant positive change for the ocean and people,”

Svenja Schulze commented: "We urgently need concrete measures to tackle marine litter. Marine pollution, especially plastic waste, clearly shows us that our behaviour in an interconnected world of global supply and consumption chains is having negative impacts worldwide. With its grant programme, Germany is living up to its global responsibility as a technological and process leader in the environmental sector and as an industrialised country hosting international companies in the plastic sector. By doing this we are implementing several of our pledges regarding the G7 and G20 action plans on marine litter"

Tommy Broughan concluded: “Yet despite Ireland’s vulnerability with thousands of kilometres of coastline and 300,000 square miles of seas, our government has failed to act. The Chicoutimi incident and the near disaster of the Princess Eva off the Donegal coast show that a major human and environmental catastrophe could occur at any time around the Irish coastline,”
