Abstract

The article emphasizes the critical importance of ocean conservation in addressing climate change, as articulated by the U.N. Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Ocean. It highlights the ocean's role in supporting life on Earth, absorbing excess heat and carbon dioxide, and producing a significant portion of the planet's oxygen. The text discusses recent global initiatives aimed at fostering a sustainable ocean economy, including the commitment to protect 30% of the planet's oceans by 2030 and the adoption of the Marine Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction High Seas Treaty. It underscores the urgency of implementing these agreements to combat climate change and ensure intergenerational justice, stressing that the success of the Paris Agreement is intrinsically linked to the health of the ocean.
