The Ocean Atlas 2017

Understanding the Threats to Our Marine Ecosystems

Oceans cover more than two-thirds of our planet.They are rich in resources and provide people with food, energy, and a stable climate. Nevertheless, the future of these unique ecosystems is endangered by overfishing, loss of biodiversity and marine pollution. The Ocean Atlas 2017 is an educational tool that provides facts and figures on the importance of our marine ecosystems and the urgency of SDG 14. Join us at the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations for an expert panel discussion on World Oceans Day. Breakfast will be provided.
