On the occasion of the Greek government’s announcements ahead of the 9th Our Ocean Conference, environmental organisations emphasize the need of science based, definite and ambitious pledges.

During the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) International Conference held in Marseille, September 2021, the Greek Prime Minister announced certain commitments for the protection of the marine environment, which unfortunately remain unfulfilled.

The 9th Our Ocean Conference, organised in Athens, Greece, on April 15-17, 2024, and the pledges that will be announced, form a great opportunity that will show that Greece demonstrates its commitments for the protection of the marine environment in practice.
