Now is the time to turn political will into decisive action
DEAR EDITOR,
Urgent action is needed if we are to keep our planet – and our oceans – safe and habitable. This requires more ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions and shift our energy system away from polluting fossil fuels towards one hundred percent renewable energy. Change is also needed in international cooperation around how our oceans are protected.
It is hoped that early next year, UN member states will agree to a strong global ocean treaty that could pave the way for the creation of marine sanctuaries, placing at least 30% of oceans off limits to human activities such as commercial fishing and oil and gas exploration. This is a crucial step towards building the resilience of marine ecosystems and securing a sustainable future for those whose livelihoods depend on our oceans.
Government should be a vocal champion for ocean conservation. Now is the time for all nations to turn political will into decisive action and lead the way on forging a global ocean treaty.
Yours respectfully
Rooplall Dudhnath
