At the 2024 Global Ocean Development Forum in east China's Qingdao City, Peter Thomson, the UN Secretary-General's special envoy for the ocean, gave a big shout-out to the city's efforts in ocean science! 🌊
\"Qingdao is playing a very important role because you have huge investment here in the UN Decade of Ocean Science,\" Thomson praised, acknowledging the city's significant support in addressing the critical challenges our oceans face.
The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) aims to boost international cooperation in ocean science and ensure a healthier, more sustainable ocean for all. And guess what? Qingdao is making waves (pun intended) in this global initiative! 🌍🌊
Located in eastern China, Qingdao isn't just famous for its beautiful coastline and delicious seafood 🍤—it's also becoming a hub for oceanographic research and innovation. The city's commitment to the UN's ocean decade is inspiring, and it\u2019s setting an example for other coastal cities around the world.
It's awesome to see cities stepping up to protect our blue planet. Way to go, Qingdao! 👏🌎
