Until we meet again

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 21:57:19 +0000

In a few days, world leaders will head back to capitals and barricades will be dismantled, but the General Assembly keeps working. Global threats don’t stop at the end of the high-level week, and neither does the search for responses. Countries continue grappling with the problems affecting us all: from the outer reaches of space to the seabed floor.

And while this blog comes to a close, there’s always time to open our many platforms from websites to social media to the UN News App.

Michael Lodge (Secretary General, International Seabed Authority) and Emilie McGloane (Director, Peace Boat US) met at the SDG Media Zone to discuss the importance of a new historic treaty - the Treaty of the High Seas - which protects biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (often shortened to BBNJ). Michael Lodge emphasized the vastness of oceans and said that “1% of oceans contain more minerals than exist on land”. He continued: "Good regulation is important to ensure that the ocean’s resources are not exploited". So far, some 60 UN Member States have signed onto the treaty since its opening this week at UNGA78.
