Carney Pledges $82 Million for Ocean Monitoring Initiative at UN
The pledge will fund year-round Arctic monitoring and expand ocean data systems as only 1.5% of the high seas is protected, officials said.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada ratified the High Seas Treaty on Wednesday and pledged $82 million over five years to the Global Ocean Observing System at the United Nations General Assembly.
- Co-Chaired by Carney and European Commission President Ursula, the OceanEye International Alliance builds a comprehensive data-sharing network for the world's oceans, with 30 countries pledging support.
- Scientists Cyr and Brad warned that federal cutbacks to the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program risk leaving infrastructure 'vulnerable to financial and geopolitical disruptions,' despite Carney's investments.
- Ratification grants Ottawa a seat at the first international meeting in January, further aligning Canada with the European Union, which recently proposed Canada as an 'associate member.'
- President Donald Trump recently imposed 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods and threatened to block further imports, complicating the international climate leadership Carney displayed this week.
