World Oceans Day reminds everyone that the oceans play a vital role in our livelihoods. The true lungs of our planet, they provide, for example, most of the oxygen we breathe. They also constitute an important source of food and medicine, and are an essential part of the biosphere.
It is therefore important to raise public awareness of the fundamental place they occupy in our ecosystem, and of the threats they face due to human activities. This day aims in particular to mobilize and unite populations around the world around more sustainable management of the oceans, while paying tribute to their beauty and wealth.
To do this, the United Nations is organizing a hybrid event at United Nations Headquarters, the June 7, 2024, under the theme “ In-depth renewal of our action ».
