The UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France, serves as a pivotal moment for nations to unify their efforts toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 14, which focuses on ocean health. With oceans being vital for climate regulation, biodiversity, and human livelihoods, many countries have pledged to ocean conservation. However, compliance has faltered, and new treaties risk being diluted due to external pressures. The conference aims to facilitate dialogue among governments, scientists, and civil society to revitalize commitments and find pathways to safeguard ocean ecosystems and resources effectively.
Overfishing is one. Its impacts are felt far and wide, affecting marine biodiversity and the livelihoods of those dependent on the oceans.
The UN Ocean Conference presents an unprecedented chance for nations to come together and tackle the pressing issues regarding ocean health and sustainability.
