UN ocean summit critical to its protection

One in three people rely on the ocean for their livelihood but the ocean is in danger.

FROM June 9 to 13, France will co-host, with Costa Rica, the Third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3). For this crucial event, around 100 heads of state and government will converge in Nice, as well as tens of thousands of researchers, scientists, economic actors, activists and citizens from around the world. On this occasion, France’s aim will be clear: protecting the ocean through tangible action.

The ocean is our common good. It feeds and protects our peoples. It provides us with sustainable energy, trade, resources and infinite scientific knowledge.
