Unprotected: 71% of Earth - UN Conference 2025 - The Climate Guru (9 Mins)

The UN Oceans Conference: Can We Save the High Seas Before It’s Too Late?

This week, the United Nations Oceans Conference kicked off in Nice, France, bringing together 120 countries in a historic effort to protect our planet’s final frontier: the high seas.

In this video, Brent, The Climate Guru, breaks down what’s at stake.

🌍 71% of the Earth is ocean, and most of it is completely unregulated. From deep-sea mining and overfishing to plastic pollution and rising sea levels, the threats are mounting fast. But there’s hope: the High Seas Treaty, developed in 2023, could finally create real protections for international waters. In this episode:

✅ Why the ocean absorbs 93% of our excess heat

✅ How phytoplankton produce half the oxygen we breathe

✅ The urgent call for a moratorium on deep-sea mining

✅ What’s holding back the enforcement of marine protected areas ✅ The truth about the U.S. absence at this pivotal moment

✅ Why the 30x30 goal (30% of oceans protected by 2030) matters now more than ever From bleached coral reefs to wounded mangroves, the ocean is already speaking. The question is: will world leaders finally listen?
