“Fighting climate change and protecting marine life biodiversity is a centrepiece of the EU's ocean policy. Due to climate change, our oceans are facing serious challenges, which require an urgent and comprehensive response. But oceans are also a part of the solution. The Madrid conference is an opportunity for mobilising support for coherent international action and better ocean governance.”, EU Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevičius on EU Ocean Day at the Madrid Climate Summit.
