The ocean is under pressure: it is suffering from global warming, unsustainable practices, illegal fishing, pollution and loss of marine habitats. The Our Ocean Conference aims to step up collective efforts to address these issues. It brings together countries from around the world, civil society and industry to inspire joint solutions and present ambitious commitments to protect the oceans. Initially launched in 2014, the Our Ocean Conference has since mobilised more than 2,160 commitments worth approximately $130 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The EU has developed a <a href=\"https:\/\/ouroceanpanama2023.gob.pa\/commitments\/\">commitment tracking tool<\/a> available on the Our Ocean website. This allows citizens to track progress in the implementation of all commitments made at all &#8220;Our Ocean&#8221; Conferences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to its commitments, the EU has co-organised a high-level side event calling for swift ratification of the BBNJ Agreement, together with the governments of Belgium, Chile, Costa Rica, France, the Republic of Korea, Nigeria and Palau, as well as the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Bloomberg Philanthropies Ocean Initiative, the High Seas Alliance, Mission Blue, Pew, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the European Conservation Bureau. The EU has also organised side events on the EU Ocean Mission (16 April) and on oceans and climate with Mercator Ocean International (15 April).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_24_2049\">European Commission<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the last Our Ocean Conference in Greece, the European Union confirmed its strong commitment to international ocean governance by announcing 40 commitments for action by 2024.
