This week, the Spanish Congress approved the ratification of the Global Ocean Treaty, a historic UN agreement that establishes a legal framework to protect biodiversity in international waters, which cover over 50% of the Earth's surface and more than 60% of the ocean.

With less than 5 months until the UN Ocean Conference, the race is on for countries to demonstrate their commitment to ocean health + secure 60 ratifications needed for the Treaty to enter into force.

This Treaty is crucial for achieving the 30x30 goal - protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030. It will also help combat overfishing, pollution, and destructive activities like deep-sea mining, ensuring a healthier ocean for people and planet.

💡 Will we reach 60 ratifications before UNOC 2025? The momentum is building, but time is running out until the September deadline.

At ClientEarth, we will continue to track Spain’s international commitments and push for strong action at the national level.
