3. We need to ratify the UN High Seas Treaty
Wed Jun 18, 2025, 08:13 AM

The treaty seeks to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030. If you watch David Attenborough's Ocean documentary, he details how areas currently protected, about 1%, have recovered surprisingly fast. Because the ocean is a huge converter of CO2 to oxygen, the treaty may be our greatest hope for combating climate change. The US has signed it but not yet ratified. I urge everyone to watch the documentary, which is available on Hulu and Disney+, as it makes a strong argument against the notion that we are already too late.
