🌊 Only 8.3% of the world’s ocean is protected, & just 2.8% is likely to be effectively safeguarded. To achieve 30% protection by 2030, a new report we supported outlines the urgent action needed. The future of our ocean depends on global action & partnership, see how we can

We’re not where we need to be to protect our ocean and the lives that depend on it. A recent report, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, highlights key actions governments need to take now to protect our ocean. See how we can turn the tide at #COP16.

Powerful call-to-action from climate activist Brianna Fruean! 🌊 Ahead of #COP16, we must hold governments accountable to their commitment to protect and conserve at least 30% of the ocean by 2030. Proud to support the Together for the Ocean campaign. for-the-ocean.org

In 2022, the world committed to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030 – but a new report shows that marine protection has increased by just 0.5% since then. We can't afford to miss this target. At #COP16, we need decisive action. 🌊 Read the report: for-the-ocean.org/resources/

As leaders gather in Cali for #COP16Colombia, they must ensure that ‘protecting our ocean’ means truly protecting it. The #30x30 target will only be meaningful if we protect areas effectively — not just on paper. The time to act is now. news.mongabay.com/2024/10/at-cop…
