About this session

This 45-minute event is a screening of a short documentary that explores the vital role of the world's seas as the planet's ultimate life-support system and human’s greatest asset in the ocean-climate nexus. The ocean is the planet’s primary climate regulator amplifying the relevance of this event anchored in the collective messaging of the Pacific on the importance of ocean’s health. The documentary, Oceans with Sir David Attenborough champions two primary goals: protecting one-third of the global ocean and halting the most damaging fishing practices.
