The Prince's International Sustainability Unit video, featured on The Royal Channel, emphasizes the need for cooperation and consensus-building across all economic sectors—business, non-profit, and NGO. It promotes an ecosystem approach to management, advocating for the global scaling of proven good practices, particularly in fisheries.

The video also includes segments on water, executive education, and the Natural Capital Leadership Platform, which convenes leaders. A key point raised is that "We're not valuing natural capital and the services provided by nature herself."

Dr. M. Jahi Chappell, Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Justice at Washington State University, Vancouver, delivered a lecture titled "Ecological Sustainability, Food, and Human Rights: The Necessity of 'Action Ecology'" at Portland State University's Social Sustainability Colloquium on January 27, 2012. He argued that scientists should embrace roles as both citizens and credible advocates, emphasizing that this, combined with community participation and outreach—particularly within university settings—is crucial for challenging the status quo and driving effective change.

The lecture was videotaped by Ruth Ann Barrett, Sustainability Advocate and founder of EarthSayers.tv, voices of sustainability.

On December 7, 2019, C2G convened a UNFCCC COP25 side event to discuss governing emerging marine climate-altering techniques. Stephan Singer of Climate Action Network International participated in the panel discussion.

These techniques are being considered within the context of the Paris Agreement and the ocean's role in climate action. However, none are ready for large-scale deployment, and all present significant technological and governance challenges requiring stakeholder attention.
