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 🧵
#IGC5 Greenpeace USA activists pr...
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?!

#IGC5 #BBNJ #NoAmbitionCoalition Greenpeace USA activists pr...
.@antonioguterres, the UN Secretary General, warned in June against the egoism of some countries hampering progress, and it looks like he's been proven right.

We need Ministers of the High Ambition Coalition to prove him wrong

#IGC5 #ProtectTheOceans #BBNJ Greenpeace USA activists pr...
The oceans sustain all life on Earth, but the greed of a few countries means this round of talks for a UN Ocean Treaty are now set to fail.

#IGC5 #ProtectTheOceans #BBNJ Greenpeace USA activists pr...
Billions of people rely on healthy oceans, and world leaders have failed all of them. Protecting 30% of the oceans by 2030 will be impossible without a treaty this year. Scientists say this is the absolute minimum necessary to protect the oceans.

#IGC5 #ProtectTheOceans #BBNJ Frontline speakers from lef...
The lack of high-level political engagement in these talks has hamstrung them from the start, but it’s become clear in the last days that the High Ambition Coalition’s neocolonial approach to benefit sharing will stop a treaty from being agreed here.

#IGC5 #ProtectTheOceans A message reads "Get O...
We’ll never give up on protecting our oceans and fighting for our planet. Millions of people from around the world have called on leaders to create a strong global ocean treaty. It’s now up to leaders to get it done, and get it done now!

🌊 11 days of protest. 1 Arctic Sunrise. 16 crew members. 5 climbers. 2 kayaks. That’s what it’s taken to shake the deep sea mining industry to its core (1/5)
Over the last 2 weeks, whatever the weather or time, Greenpeace International activists put themselves between the mining industry ship and the Pacific Ocean using kayaks, rhibs, and even CLIMBED the crane of the ship. (2/5)
.@themetalsco attempted to stop the protest through court, but this resulted in Greenpeace International winning a landmark judgement for peaceful protest! The judge said it was "understandable" that the organisation has taken direct action against @themetalsco’s plans. (3/5) Image

They are here to disrupt the deep sea mining industry at sea.

Despite the oceans being one of our best allies against climate change, the deep sea mining industry wants to destroy them for profit, in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, between Hawaii and Mexico.

The Metals Company, who chartered the vessel in the picture⬇️ to collect data and finalize its application to start mining, is very determined but not as much as our kayaktivists are: deep sea mining will not start on our watch!

1/5 Soon the world's leading climate scientists will deliver their verdict on the state of climate emergency and ways of dealing with it!

The full story of the @IPCC_CH #AR6 Climate Report will be brought together.

Here’s what we learned from the recent IPCC reports so far👇 Image
2/5 WG1 report said climatic changes are:
- widespread & rapid
- intensifying
- unprecedented
- some already set in motion irreversible

But 1.5°C:
- is still within reach
- would substantially prevent further harm
- requires urgent action, net zero CO2

act.gp/3IM86aY
3/5 WG2 report said:

- Risks are appearing faster & getting worse sooner
- We are not prepared
- More warming = more problems
- From incremental to transformational adaptation
- Equity!
- Restore & protect nature for it to protect us
- Critical decade

1/8 📢🚨: Governments @UN have just agreed on a Global Ocean Treaty! 🌍

🎉 This is huge - it’s the biggest conservation victory ever! 🎉

Here’s a 🧵 on how we got here and what it means:
2/8 🌊 It’s a victory for the oceans and it’s a victory for people power.

💪Over 5 million people have joined our movement to protect the oceans. The politicians couldn’t ignore our call!
3/8 The treaty enables governments to set up sanctuaries across the global oceans- making it possible to protect 30% of the oceans by 2030, the minimum scientists say is needed for oceans and marine life to recover 🐟
