The solutions to restoring the health of the ocean – which provides us with oxygen, food and livelihoods – are out there, and in 100 days they will be in the spotlight in Lisbon, Portugal, at the second ever UN Oceans Conference. 

The event taking place this June will be a critical opportunity to mobilize partnerships and increase investment to fight ocean pollution, overfishing and other challenges. 

Laura Quinones spoke to the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the Ocean Peter Thomson. 

He began by explaining how UN Ocean Conferences came into existence, and why they are important.
