UN ocean summit in Nice closes with wave of commitments
June 13, 2025 | United Nations (UN) |
The 3rd UN Ocean Conference concluded in Nice, France, drawing 15,000 participants, including over 60 heads of state, and resulted in the adoption of the Nice Ocean Action Plan. This framework includes a political declaration and over 800 voluntary commitments aimed at expanding marine protection, reducing pollution, and enhancing governance of international waters. Key announcements included France’s Polynesia establishing the world’s largest marine protected area (MPA), a €1 billion investment by the European Commission, and Germany’s €100 million project to clear underwater munitions. The conference significantly boosted the ratification of the High Seas Treaty, moving it closer to implementation, and set the stage for ongoing global collaboration toward ocean sustainability targets.
