Life below waterâthe UN calls for action on ocean protection
Ahead of World Oceans Day 2021 and the second UN Ocean Conference next year, UN officials stressed the need for âclear, transformative and actionableâ solutions to the ocean crisis.
President of the United Nations General Assembly Volkan Bozkir has told a high-level debate on oceans that the world cannot afford to delay action on ocean protection. âThere is simply no scenario wherein we live on a planet without an ocean,â he said.
The debate, which focused on the ocean and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Life Below Water, took place on Jun. 1 at the UN Headquarters in New York.

Gaza came under heavy artillery fire early Friday morning, amid reports later conclusively denied that the Israeli army had launched a possible ground invasion of the Strip.
