Now the real work begins 👏👏👏

Today, world leaders meet to decide the future of the #HighSeas . There is no 30x30 without them. These waters cover 2/3 of our ocean 🌊🗺️🐙 #BBNJ #IGC5

It’s a beautiful day to bring home a strong #BBNJ treaty to protect the #HighSeas . And wonderful to have a PSIDS rep, Mr. Martin Zvachula, chairing our opening plenary of this final morning of #IGC5 . Finish line is in sight! 🌊🌊🌊

It’s a gorgeous day for the resumption of IGC5 at the UN in New York. Fingers crossed for the conclusion of a new #BBNJ treaty!

It's a monumental moment for the world's ocean! Adopting the #BBNJ text is a significant step forward in the protection & sustainable use of biodiversity on the #HighSeas . As an ocean aficionado, I am confident this marks a turning point in how we approach ocean governance. #IGC5
