Let #COP28 be remembered as the moment when the world came together to confront the climate crisis head-on. The topics of discussion - mitigation, adaptation, resilience, regeneration - demand a substantial increase in sustainable finance and investment dedicated to blue nature.

Today, @OceanoAzulF had the pleasure of welcoming the Prime Minister of Cape Verde, Dr. Ulisses Correia e Silva, to discuss the urgent need of multilateral ocean action.
Collaborations between civil society and governments are fundamental to promote an ocean agenda.

As a Trustee of the @OceanoAzulF proud to see EU signing #BBNJ today in New York
We have a unique opportunity to save our ocean.
Today, President @vonderleyen signed the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Treaty on behalf of the EU.
It paves the way for biodiversity protection in an area making up 95% of the ocean, with huge benefits to humanity. ↓
