Parley Talks held at Les Bains in Paris during COP21 explored the role of the oceans in climate, and why the most pivotal outcome of the conference is not an agreement on climate action, but action itself.

As awareness becomes action, Parley celebrates the planet’s most important ecosystem with a week of collaboration, discussion and action.

Set inside their iconic Chemosphere House in the Hollywood Hills, Benedict and Lauren Taschen hosted a special Parley Talks with Jefferson Hack, Hans-Ulrich Obrist, Cyrill Gutsch and guests.

Orbiting the Earth in under two hours, you see a sunrise and sunset every 45 minutes. NASA astronaut Leland Melvin has seen the oceans from a vantage point few will experience first-hand: outer space.

In 2014, Parley hosted a Wall Street Summit and Ocean Night to raise awareness of major threats to marine habitats and to introduce new initiatives for the cause. Pharrell Williams kicked off the two-day event by introducing 'RAW for the Oceans'

A UN x Parley launch event under the title “Oceans. Climate. Life.” was held at the United Nations in New York to bring the oceans to the forefront of the climate change conversation.

Creators, thinkers and leaders come together to kick-off the movement. The first Parley took place on February 7, 2013, hosted by artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel at his Palazzo Chupi in NY.
