priv\u00e9.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">L\u2019Accord sur la conservation et l\u2019utilisation durable de la biodiversit\u00e9 marine dans les zones ne relevant pas d\u2019une juridiction nationale, adopt\u00e9 en 2023, a constitu\u00e9 une avanc\u00e9e majeure pour la conservation des oc\u00e9ans.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div

c\u00f4tiers.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Dans ce contexte, je me r\u00e9jouis que le Chef de l\u2019Etat du Cameroun, Son Excellence Paul Biya, ait accept\u00e9 d\u2019organiser, sous son patronage, la conf\u00e9rence internationale sur la gestion durable de l\u2019\u00e9conomie bleue dans le Golfe de Guin\u00e9e, qui se tiendra du 10 au 11 juillet \u00e0 Yaound\u00e9.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Excellences,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Toutes les initiatives que nous prenons en faveur des oc\u00e9ans visent le d\u00e9veloppement durable dans ses trois dimensions : \u00e9conomique, sociale et environnementale.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Et les enjeux sont importants pour les pays en d\u00e9veloppement en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, et pour les petits \u00c9tats insulaires en particulier.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Depuis des mill\u00e9naires, ces nations s\u2019appuient sur les oc\u00e9ans comme voies de commerce, sources de tourisme, r\u00e9serves alimentaires, liens avec des cultures anciennes, et ressources vitales pour leur survie.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Pour r\u00e9ussir, nous devons financer nos ambitions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div

l\u2019un des moins financ\u00e9s.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer l\u2019action en faveur des oc\u00e9ans n\u00e9cessite des financements importants et accessibles, notamment gr\u00e2ce au respect des engagements existants.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Cela exige \u00e9galement le renforcement des moyens de mise en \u0153uvre pour les pays en d\u00e9veloppement.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">J\u2019attends donc avec int\u00e9r\u00eat l\u2019adoption de la d\u00e9claration politique de la

version<\/b><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Excellencies,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Ladies and Gentlemen,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I am honoured to address the Third United Nations Ocean Conference.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I commend France and Costa Rica for their commitment to better ocean management.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This conference marks a new step in our efforts to protect the oceans.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">We are meeting just weeks before celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Charter of the United Nations.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">We have a duty to preserve the oceans.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">And the time to act is now.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Fortunately, we have a strong foundation on which we should build.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Several commitments made at the 2022 Ocean Conference have been realised.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Over 2,000 voluntary commitments have been recorded by Governments, civil society and the private sector.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Moreover, the Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction, adopted in 2023, was a major step forward for ocean conservation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Momentum around the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development continues to grow.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I commend the countries that have:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\" data-editing-info=\"{&quot;unorderedStyleType&quot;:2}\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Strengthened marine protected areas,<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Taken action against plastic pollution,<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">And invested in the restoration of coastal ecosystems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In this context, I am pleased that the Head of State of Cameroon, His Excellency Paul Biya, has agreed to host, under his patronage, the International Conference on the Blue Economy in the Gulf of Guinea, which will be held from July 10 to 11 in Yaound\u00e9.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Excellencies,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">All the initiatives we undertake in favour of the oceans aim at sustainable development in its three dimensions:\u00a0 economic, social and environmental.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">And the stakes are high for developing countries in general, and for Small Island States in particular.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">For millennia, these nations have relied upon oceans as trade routes, sources of tourism, food reserves, links to ancient cultures and vital resources for their survival.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">To succeed, we must finance our ambitions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">And we must do it, together.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">We cannot ignore that Sustainable Development Goal 14 is one of the least funded.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Accelerating ocean action requires significant and accessible funding including through the fulfilment of existing commitments.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It also requires strengthening the means of implementation for developing countries.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I therefore look forward to the adoption of the Conference\u2019s political declaration that I had the honour to present thanks to the excellent coordination of the Permanent Representatives of Australia and Cabo Verde, as well as the voluntary commitments that will be announced in the coming days.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">I also hope for ambitious outcomes at the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, in the coming weeks.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Excellencies,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The future of our oceans is in our hands.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Here in Nice, let us reaffirm that international cooperation works effectively and is essential to ensuring a better future for all.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><b>I thank you.<\/b><\/div>\n<div
