We Live on Planet Sea

If we don't save the ocean, we won't save the planet. We know how to save the ocean, but we are at more than 13 years behind schedule with respect to investing in ocean health. Governments with Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) need to prioritize SDG 14 above all other SDGs and lead development of projects which will crowd in private sector investment.

SDG/NDC Target Acquisition - "Low-hanging fruit": Wait or Mitigate?

Sit tight and wait for technology that cannot be 100% implemented for some decades down the road while we let the current levels of pollution continue, slowly but gradually abated ~ Or ~ use the natural resources and technologies we have ~effectively~ right now while working on cleaner technologies for the future and reduce pollution greatly within a decade.
