The Global Maritime Forum is an international not-for-profit organization committed to shaping the future of global seaborne trade to increase sustainable long-term economic development and human wellbeing. To serve its mission, the Forum convenes leaders from across the maritime community with policymakers, NGOs, experts, and other influential decision-makers and opinion shapers from all geographies in a community of purpose to discuss collective challenges and to work together on developing new solutions and recommendations for action. Geopolitical conflict, supply chain disruptions, as well as the urgent need for climate action and to ensure human sustainability both at sea and on shore will have profound ramifications for the maritime industry and for global trade for years to come. At the Global Maritime Forum’s Annual Summit 2022 in New York, leaders, and stakeholders from across the maritime value chain and beyond will work together to understand these challenges and to generate ideas for practical actions that can help shape the future of global seaborne trade to increase sustainable long-term economic development and human wellbeing. This meeting will take place in conjunction with the UN General Assembly that is scheduled for the same week.
