A l’occasion de la Monaco Blue Initiative, @John Kerry a évoqué lors de son allocution que « Nous devons appliquer tous les leviers pour créer un avenir pour l’océan qui est riche en biodiversité, résistant aux changements climatiques, et sans pollution de carbone. Parce que la santé de nos océans est au cœur de nos économies, de nos écosystèmes, de nos communautés et de la vie elle-même sur cette planète.. » #MBI2021 https://youtu.be/IE4DJtWn96o
