The third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3), scheduled for June in Nice, France, aims to redefine global ocean governance. However, its preliminary declaration, known as the 'zero draft', primarily emphasizes only environmental and economic dimensions of ocean conservation and sustainable development. This focus raises concerns about the conference's ability to address a more holistic approach that considers social, cultural, and political factors that also impact ocean health. While the conference represents a significant step towards sustainable practices, its limited scope may impede comprehensive ocean governance advancements.
The upcoming United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice has the potential to reshape global ocean governance, yet its focus remains limited to environmental and economic aspects.
The UNOC3 zero draft declaration emphasizes economic and environmental issues, marking a pivotal moment, but lacks a comprehensive approach to other critical factors affecting ocean health.
