Ocean protection at current pace would take until 2289, Greenpeace warns
Original: Protecting 30% of ocean will take until 2289 at current rate, Greenpeace warns
Greenpeace warns that at the current rate of progress, protecting 30% of the world's ocean would not be achieved until 2289, far beyond international targets calling for that level of protection by 2030. The environmental group says marine protection is moving far too slowly to meet agreed global goals, prompting renewed calls for governments to dramatically speed up the creation of ocean sanctuaries.
Why now: The warning highlights how far governments are lagging behind the 30x30 ocean protection target agreed under global biodiversity commitments.
