World Ocean Day 2021 Conservation Action Focus Protecting 30% of our blue planet for a healthy ocean and climate
June is coming soon and we are excited to announce this year’s Conservation Action Focus: Protecting 30% of our blue planet for a healthy ocean and climate.
Each year, we work with the World Ocean Day Youth Advisory Council to develop a Conservation Action Focus to help unite the world in taking action on an issue of critical importance. We also develop and curate resources related to the action focus to support event organizers and individuals worldwide in preparation for 8 June and involvement throughout the year.
You can help! Working closely with the Council, World Ocean Day and its global network will support the growing movement to protect 30% of our blue planet by 2030 (“30×30”). We will very soon be posting resources and toolkits to help you and your organization or business integrate the Conservation Action Focus into your activities, celebrations and other events. If you’re an individual, you can rally others — including families, friends, schools, local businesses, organizations and corporations — for greater involvement, including organizing a celebration in your community!
We’re also excited to announce that we dropped the “s”!
As you might have noticed above, we have officially dropped the “s” from World Ocean(s) Day to reflect our blue planet’s one ocean that connects us all. To read more about this change, please check out this blog post and download the new World Ocean Day logo to use in your outreach and activities.
