🔴ÚLTIMA HORA. Líderes mundiales a punto de fallar a nuestros océanos. Las conversaciones en la ONU parecen destinadas al fracaso debido a la avaricia.

Los gobiernos están priorizando las futuras e hipotéticas ganancias de los recursos genéticos marinos.#IGC5

DENTRO HILO 🧵
Países como EE.UU. Canadá y la UE están siendo codiciosos.

Están priorizando las ganancias futuras hipotéticas de los recursos genéticos marinos sobre la protección de los océanos, socavando todos los avances logrados en el texto del Tratado sobre Áreas Marinas Protegidas.
#IGC5
La UE como parte de la Coalicion de Alta Ambición no está cumpliendo con sus promesas de proteger los océanos y finalizar un Tratado en esta ronda de conversaciones. Ahora, ¿cómo lo lograrán este año?

BREAKING: World leaders are on the brink of failing our oceans. Talks at the UN look set to end in deadlock because of greed.

Govts are fighting over hypothetical future profits they could make from the ocean over protecting it.

Here's a thread to explain why 🧵

Countries like USA, Canada and EU are being greedy.

They’re prioritising hypothetical future profits from Marine Genetics Resources over protecting the oceans. This is undermining all the progress made on the Treaty text on Marine Protected Areas

The EU's High Ambition Coalition is failing to deliver on their commitments to protect the oceans and finalise a Treaty at this round of talks - now how will they get it done this year?

@VSinkevicius where have you been the last 2 weeks?!

The final round of negotiations for a treaty to protect marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (#BBNJ) kicks off today at @UN HQ!

Here's a quick recap of what's going on [thread 🧵]
#IGC5 #UNCLOS
We used to think the #highseas were a deadzone and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (#UNCLOS) doesn't say all that much about its protection.

We now know that these deep & distant waters are full of biodiversity and are a massive carbon sink.
Covering nearly half the planet, these areas beyond national jursidiction (#ABNJ) are increasingly threatened by:
🎣 Fishing
🚢 Shipping
♨️ Global heating/acidifcation/deoxygenation
⛏️ Seabed mining

Not to mention future uses (e.g. Google holds patents for subsea servers)
