   🐋 What does the EU have to do with whales?

   The EU takes seriously our role in protecting the oceans.

   Yet only 1% of the ocean is protected from threats like pollution and overexploitation.

   That’s why the EU helped bring together the global community for the 🇺🇳 Treaty of the High Seas to protect biodiversity in an area comprising 95% of the ocean.

   As climate change accelerates, nature is our best ally in keeping the impacts in check.

   And indeed, a source of awe.

   Happy World Whale Day!
