Sea Beyond

SEA BEYOND is an educational programme promoted by the Prada Group and UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), to raise awareness on sustainability and ocean preservation.

The project – which is supported by a percentage of the proceeds from the sales of the Prada Re-Nylon collection – underscores the Group's commitment to sustainable choices, in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

THE OCEAN DECADE

The United Nations declared 2021-2030 the “Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development”: ten years dedicated to the ocean and the protection of the sea and its health.

The goal is to build a common research and technological innovation programme to commit the scientific community, governments, the private sector and civil society to preserve a clean and healthy ocean.

Ten years will be dedicated to understanding the vital importance of the sea for our Planet, to build an Ocean Generation fully aware of its value.

On December 16, 2020, the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission launched the Manifesto of the Decade of the Sea in Italy. The Prada Group, already committed to the education of future generations through the SEA BEYOND project, decided to support the initiative, becoming one of the first signatories of the Manifesto.
