Goal of the Month | June 2025: Life Below Water

Goal 14 is about conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas and marine resources. Healthy oceans and seas are essential to human existence and life on Earth.

The Ocean is intrinsic to our life on earth. Covering three-quarters of the Earth¡¯s surface, contain 97 percent of the Earth¡¯s water, and represent 99 percent of the living space on the planet by volume.

The ocean is in a state of emergency as increasing eutrophication, acidification, ocean warming and plastic pollution worsen its health. Additionally, the alarming trend of overfishing persists, leading to the depletion of over one third of global fish stocks. To counter these trends, swift and coordinated global action is imperative.
