UN publishes op-ed regarding ocean’s health – Roya News English

Ambassador Peter Thomson, UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the Ocean, wrote an op-ed titled "2022: The Year to Stop the Decline of the Ocean’s Health."

Ahead of the UN Ocean Conference, which is expected to take place on 27 June to 1 July, Ambassador Thomson said:

With every breath we take, we are connected to the ocean. The ocean gives us oxygen, provides us with food and livelihoods. It stabilises our climate, absorbing most of the heat trapped in the Earth’s system. Billions of humans, animals and plants rely on a healthy ocean. But the ocean’s health is in trouble.
