Celebrated annually on 8 June, World Oceans Day is a reminder that the oceans are the lungs of our Planet, a major source of food and medicine and a critical part of our biosphere.
They produce at least half of the planet’s oxygen, and it is estimated that 40 million people will be employed by ocean-based industries by 2030.
This year’s World Oceans Day is themed “Revitalisation: collective action for the ocean” — a year framed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science and the celebration of the United Nations Ocean Conference — two years after it was cancelled because of the pandemic.
The United Nations will also host the first hybrid celebration in-person at the UN Headquarters in New York which will also be broadcasted live.
