Addressing the UN Ocean Conference at UN headquarters in New York on Tuesday, coinciding with World Oceans Day, the Prime Minister said it was time to the Buddha’s teaching on how to protect the environment.
He said during the past 72 years, the UN had done tremendous work to protect the world peace and development and that the current problems would be solved from the steps we take to protect the environment today and through that we should be able to build a brighter future.
Co-chaired by Fiji and Sweden, the Conference aims to support the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal-14: Conserve and use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
