Real international awareness or short-lived communication stunt?

The oceans occupy 70% of the surface of the globe and play an essential role in the fight against global warming.

This summit, wanted by the French President, Emmanuel Macron, is the first of a series of international events around the ocean: a UN meeting on the environment at the end of February which will address the question of an international agreement on plastic, negotiations in March at the UN on a treaty for the high seas, biodiversity and climate COPs and a UN conference on the oceans in Lisbon in June.
