This act proposes a worldwide ban on the production, sale, and distribution of single-use plastics in order to combat pollution, protect marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and promote sustainable alternatives.

This act expands the original initiative by combining the global phase-out of single-use plastics with robust ocean cleanup operations and chemical pollution mitigation strategies.

This act establishes a binding international moratorium on all deep-sea mining operations to prevent irreversible harm to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and planetary climate systems, until sufficient scientific evidence proves it can be done safely and sustainably.

This act calls for a coordinated international effort to protect at least 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030 through the expansion and enforcement of ecologically representative and effectively managed marine protected areas (MPAs).

This initiative seeks to fund and expand global coral reef restoration efforts through habitat rehabilitation, climate adaptation measures, and community-led conservation strategies.
