#ClimateAction depends on a healthy ocean, and a healthy ocean requires urgent climate action. Without action to conserve and protect the ocean, life on Earth is at risk. This #WorldOceansDay, here are 1️⃣0️⃣ things you can do to #SaveOurOcean.

The ocean is life. It’s home to nearly a million species. And its future depends on what each one of us does. On #WorldOceansDay, let's dive beneath the surface and awaken new depths of understanding, collaboration and commitment to #SaveOurOcean. https://go.undp.org/gQnq

Our living ocean is one of our most precious natural resources. It makes our own lives possible–and enjoyable. It’s up to us to restore the ocean to health, use its resources responsibly and preserve its wonders for generations to come. #WorldOceansDay

Polarization is one of the defining challenges of our time. It's blocking the collective efforts needed to fight the global, interlinked crises we face, including climate change, poverty, conflicts and pandemics. But if polarization is the problem, investing in development is the solution. This includes building effective governance systems and engaging people throughout the entire electoral cycle, from peaceful, credible and inclusive elections to ensuring mechanisms to hold power to account. As two of the largest electoral assistance providers globally, we have worked with the European Union in over 100 countries to provide a range of support, including helping to strengthen democratic institutions such as parliaments, judiciaries, and electoral bodies. From advancing the political participation of women and youth to ensuring transparency and challenging mis- and dis-information; this is how we determine our collective future. As #EU citizens go to the polls this weekend, UNDP Brussels’ Camilla Brückner spotlights how inclusivity and cooperation, across and within countries, is fundamental to addressing these interlinked global crises. https://go.undp.org/ZDS
