Human health depends on thriving oceans

Monash Sustainable Development Institute Director Tony Capon co-authored a paper in Lancet on the critical links between human health and ocean conservation. Published in conjunction with World Oceans Day, Human Health Depends on Thriving Oceans highlights the critical role of oceans in carbon storage, climate regulation, food provision, and even medicinal resources. It also provides a robust evaluation of the UN Draft Agreement on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction, commonly known as the Treaty of the High Seas.
