Hey there, ocean lovers! ๐ Did you know that leaders from all over the world gathered to talk about saving our amazing oceans?
On Monday, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng spoke at the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, France. He shared four big ideas on how we can work together to protect our oceans!
1. Making Oceans Peaceful and Secure
He said that everyone should help make the oceans peaceful and safe. This means following international ocean rules and working together to protect the oceans for everyone.
2. Making Oceans Beneficial and Prosperous
He also said we should make the oceans good for everyone! By connecting with each other and cooperating, we can help all countries, especially those that need extra help, to use the oceans wisely.
3. Sharing Ocean Cultures
Han Zheng urged everyone to respect different cultures connected by the sea. By talking and sharing ideas, we can create a fair and friendly ocean world!
4. Keeping Oceans Clean and Beautiful
Finally, he said we must keep our oceans clean and beautiful. This will support our goals to protect sea life and resources. China plans to work with others to promote green development and ocean protection!
These ideas are all about reaching Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG14). This goal is all about conserving and using the oceans, seas, and marine resources in a sustainable way.
It’s up to all of us to help protect our oceans. Whether it’s picking up trash on the beach or learning more about sea life, every little bit helps! ๐
