"Deep Sea - solutions to safeguard the Common Heritage of Humankind": Side event at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice

With the currently increasing risk of premature deep-sea mining activities in the international deep sea, the UN-Ocean Conference is a timely occasion to discuss options on how to join forces for the protection of the deep sea and to guarantee the strict application of a precautionary approach/principle.

This high-level event will unite key advocates for a precautionary pause on deep seabed mining (DSM) – both governments and influential stakeholders – and will provide perspectives for the upcoming negotiations under the International Seabed Authority (ISA).
