The Global Ocean Treaty is a powerful reminder that even in a divided world, governments can unite for our shared future.

After years of campaigning, this historic ocean win is only the beginning. Governments must now use the Treaty to create vast networks of ocean sanctuaries.👇

👎 2025 is a year of climate U-turns from Labour:

❌ Airport expansion
❌ Gas boiler phaseout shelved
❌ Green levies slashed
