Our Ocean changes rapidly. And it impacts our planet, our economies, and our communities. Today, @mark-carney.bsky.social and I are rallying the world in support of ocean observation. Which gives us eyes and ears beneath the waves ↓ link.europa.eu/r4XPwy

We must sustain the ocean that sustains us. Climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and geopolitical tensions continue to pose a threat to our ocean, and we need to step up efforts to protect it. A unified approach is essential for success. 🧵1/3

We can no longer turn our backs on the oceans. They are, above all, a common good of our humanity. Others have set as a priority to go to the Moon or to Mars. Europe, on the other hand, must consider oceans as a cause and a mission for 2050. #SOSocean

Seeing is believing: we need the #MissionOcean to show how restoration of ecosystem looks like at scale, show the Blue Parks, show how a fully functioning Digital Twin of the Ocean operates. We need to visualise the destination, as hope is the biggest human driving force.

Great read, confirming the perception: misinformation is very much linked to the extreme right populist parties, and a targeted attempt to undermine trust in our institutions and democracy. Poison for our social fabric.
