French Polynesia announces one of the world's largest designations of highly protected ocean area of 1.1 million km², incl. 2 highly protected MPAs totaling 900,000km². Grateful to support this historic step through #PBOL & @dbphilanthropy.bsky.social & @pewenvironment.bsky.social
#UNOC3 #30x30

Honored to meet President Moetai Brotherson of French Polynesia ahead of #UNOC3. I congratulated & thanked him in person on what will be major announcements for the ocean, shared tomorrow. Through Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy, we've supported these efforts working with local stakeholders since 2013.

We are the first to witness the wonders of the deep, and perhaps the last with the power to protect them.

On #DeepDay, I reaffirm a stance I've long held: the deep deserves caution, not haste.

Patagonia Azul is now a Provincial Park protecting 295,000+ hectares of vital marine and coastal ecosystems in Argentina. A major step for nature and communities.

Congratulations to all who made it possible, especially our partner Rewilding Argentina. This is a moment to celebrate.

In a time of mounting pressure on our ocean, New Caledonia's announcement for a 50-year moratorium on deep seabed mining is an important milestone. It strengthens protection of the Coral Sea Natural Park from surface to seabed. I applaud the inspiring leadership, showing progress is possible.

Like daffodils blooming each spring, youth rise with unstoppable energy. They're not just the future of ocean action — they are leading today. Proud to support Ocean Leaders Fellows at #OurOcean Youth Summit with @dbphilanthropy.bsky.social & #SustainableOceanAlliance.

Tomorrow is #InternationalWomensDay, a time to celebrate women driving change and pushing for a more just world.

Yet, too many still face barriers to education, healthcare & opportunity.

Equity benefits all. Let's keep pushing to #AccelerateAction.

On #InternationalEducationDay, I'm proud to celebrate our new partnership with the University of Geneva & Scienscope, engaging students in my home region. From Swiss lakes to the Mediterranean, activities as birdwatching & eco-mapping will spark curiosity & empower youth to protect #biodiversity.

#JulesVerneTrophy is one of sailing's toughest challenges: 33 attempts, 14 completions, 9 records.
The recently aborted attempts serve as a powerful reminder of just how unforgiving this challenge can be.
Nine years ago, I was privileged to complete it: 47 days, 25'000nm, resilience and teamwork.

Thank you for your support and being part of this journey. Together, we strive for a thoughtful balance between people and Nature—a balance vital to fully protecting at least 30% of land & sea by 2030, for a brighter future for all living beings. Here's to another year of positive change. 💫 #30x30

Discovering the enchanting beauty of the deep sea feels like uncovering nature's own Christmas ornaments, with their vibrant colors and magical allure.

#MerryChristmas from my family to yours! Wishing you joy, peace, and cherished moments with your loved ones. 🎄
