The ocean is essential to life.
The ocean:
▶️ sustains biodiversity
▶️ regulates the climate
▶️ generates oxygen
▶️ supports food security
▶️ creates jobs
▶️ drives global trade
But climate change, overfishing and pollution are endangering marine ecosystems and the 600 million people who rely on fisheries and other coastal activities for their livelihoods.
From 3 to 5 March, the 5th UN Ocean Forum will bring together global leaders, experts, and stakeholders to align trade and economic policies with ocean sustainability and the sustainable use of marine resources.
