Greenpeace activists protested with a giant inflatable octopus against deep sea mining outside the Hilton, Canary Wharf, coinciding with the Deep Sea Mining Summit. World governments failed to agree on a moratorium despite concerns over deep sea mining's harmful effects on oceans and climate change. The U.S. government's expedited permitting for The Metals Company faced global backlash, and campaigners demanded decisive measures to protect biodiversity. Greenpeace urged international collaboration to reaffirm collective authority over the seabed.
Governments have yet to rise to the moment. They remain disconnected from global concerns and the pressing need for courageous leadership to protect the deep ocean.
We call on the international community to rise up and defend multilateralism against rogue actors like The Metals Company.
