Opening the international conference on the health of the world’s oceans and seas, top United Nations officials urged coordinated global action to protect the planet, as long as it not too late.
António Guterres warned Governments that unless they overcome short-term territorial and resource interests, the state of the oceans will continue to go sour.
Secretary-General also said that the conservation and sustainable tenure of the oceans are the same situations – that’s why he tried to make settlements with foreign political leaderships and the new partnerships for the future perspectives, which will be based on the legal framework, mostly the steps of expanding oceans protected zone and decrease the plastic waste pollution.
