It was great to reflect today, and hear questions and statements, on the importance of the
#ocean
for
#climatechange
and
#HumanRights
, during my first Interactive Dialogue
@UN_HRC
#HRC56
- see recording at
🌊The ocean covers 70% of our planet
🌊Significantly more than 50% of the Earth's oxygen production comes from the ocean
🌊The ocean absorbs around 25% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions
Yet 40% of the ocean area is heavily altered
