convened in New York City today to continue working and advocating for urgent action to save the ocean, especially through meaningful and intentional collaboration to protect at least 30% of the ocean through a global network of HIGHLY & FULLY protected marine areas by 2030 and and the rapid conclusion of a strong new High Seas treaty to protect biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

We are immensely grateful to our Blue Leaders for continuing to drive this ambitious effort forward, and we are also thrilled to welcome to new Blue Leaders:

- The Kingdom of the Netherlands 🇳🇱
- Ecuador 🇪🇨

We are also infinitely grateful to our wonderful partners for supporting the Blue Leaders initiative. We could not do this without you:





Thank you. Together we WILL save our global ocean 💪💪💪

📞 Aan de lijn met Antonio Guterres UNSG, Secretaris-Generaal van de United Nations.

Ik sprak hem over de Blue Leaders, onze internationale alliantie van landen die pleiten voor twee stappen om onze oceanen beter te beschermen:
➡️ 30% van het oceaangebied beschermen tegen 2030.
➡️ Nieuw verdrag ter bescherming van de internationale wateren.

Ook voor de VN zijn gezonde oceanen een topprioriteit. Dus vroeg ik meneer Guterres om onze plannen te ondersteunen. Ik nodigde hem ook uit op het event dat we op 21 september organiseren in de marge van de Algemene Vergadering van de VN. Hier hopen we nog meer landen aan te kondigen als Blue Leader.

Want onze alliantie groeit. Gelukkig. Het is nodig. Klimaatopwarming en vervuiling dreigen onherroepelijke schade aan te richten. Hoog tijd dus om onze oceanen beter te beschermen. 🌊

On opening day of the UN Ocean Conference this week in Lisbon, Portugal, Ministers, Vice Ministers, experts and prominent ocean voices gathered at a high level event organized by Belgium and Nigeria to discuss how to advance a meaningful global ocean protection target to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 through a network of highly and fully protected areas.

This ambitious group also discussed efforts to ensure a robust new high seas treaty which will allow for highly and fully protected areas beyond national jurisdiction and ensure strong management measures for biodiversity outside these protected areas.

2022 is a critical year to agree to international targets that could reverse the declining health of the ocean.

Join this ambitious group of ocean leaders to safeguard the ocean and the incredible biodiversity it contains.

Convention on Biological Diversity.

2. Rapidly concluding a robust new United Nations treaty to conserve and protect marine biodiversity in ocean areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Time is running out but together we CAN do this. 💪💪💪
