Abstract: The high-level United Nations Conference to Support the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14: Conserve and sustainable use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development took place in New York in June 2017. While promising to be solutions-focused with engagement from all, it aimed at slowing down the decline in the health of the oceans, for the people, the planet and prosperity; and its outcome document “Our Ocean, Our Future: Call for Action†and the approximate 1,400 registered voluntary commitments (VCs) have been praised by the UN as a “global breakthrough on the path for the health of our oceans and seas†.
