If we don’t protect the ocean, humanitarian disaster awaits

Overfishing and climate change threaten the vital food supply of more than one billion people. They are the driving forces behind the deteriorating health of the ocean, which is the world’s largest ecosystem and the source of oxygen and climate regulation for our entire planet, not to mention jobs and livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people.
The ocean is the world’s largest ecosystem and
the source of oxygen and climate regulation for
 our entire planet.
If we do not take urgent action to restore and protect our ocean we will soon face an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. We can fix these problems. The ocean has an immense capacity to heal itself, and there are proven methods available for us to help it.


Read the World Economic Forum story by Isabella Lövin, who is the Minister for International Development Cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sweden - “If we don’t protect the ocean, humanitarian disaster awaits.”
