The ocean is the cradle of life and the treasure house of resources. The ocean nurtures life, connects the world and promotes development. The ocean is an important area of global biodiversity governance and global science and technology governance. In order to actively respond to the call of “building an open and innovative ecology and participating in global science and technology governance” and help build a “a shared future of all life in ocean”, China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) actively participates in global ocean governance, and will form a delegation to participate in the 2022 United Nations Ocean Conference.
