At the opening of the Third United Nations Ocean Conference in France, UN Secretary-General António Guterres delivered a powerful call to action against the ongoing “plunder” of the world’s oceans. Set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea, Guterres highlighted the urgent need to repair humanity’s strained relationship with the marine environment. Guterres emphasized the critical state of the world’s oceans, which are facing unprecedented challenges due to overfishing, pollution, and climate change. He urged global leaders and policymakers attending the summit to commit to sustainable practices and to reinforce international cooperation in protecting the marine ecosystem. The conference, which brings together representatives from governments, NGOs, and scientific communities, aims to address key issues such as marine biodiversity conservation and the reduction of ocean pollution.
