Africa’s blue economy won’t thrive as long as its oceans remain vulnerable to acidification, warming, over-fishing and rising sea levels. What can be done?
An important United Nations conference from 5 – 9 June will discuss how best to conserve and use the oceans and marine resources for sustainable development.
This View on Africa briefing is presented by Tim Walker, Researcher in the Peace Operations and Peacebuilding Programme at the ISS. He will talk about how states can collaborate to improve the protection and governance of the ocean.
