These pressures are often cumulative, combining to cause widespread biodiversity loss, undermining the ecosystems that support fisheries, coastal protection and human health.<\/p>\n This report reflects the collective work of almost 600 experts from 86 countries, and it is the only global integrated assessment on the state of the marine environment, which explores the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of the ocean.<\/p>\n WHAT<\/strong><\/p>\n Press briefing to launch the\u00a0third World Ocean Assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n WHO<\/strong><\/p>\n WHEN<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday, 8 June 2026, 12:45 pm EDT\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n WHERE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n UN Press Briefing Room, S-237 (Live on\u00a0http:\/\/webtv.un.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n The report will be available on 8 June 2026, 12:45 pm EDT at\u00a0https:\/\/www.un.org\/regularprocess\/woa3<\/a>\u00a0once the embargo has been lifted.<\/p>\n MEDIA CONTACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n Martin Samaan, UN Department of Global Communications, samaanm@un.org<\/a><\/p>\n Laura Carew, Office of Legal Affairs, laura.carew@un.org<\/a><\/p>\n An embargoed copy of the third World Ocean Assessment can be provided upon request: EXPERT INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES<\/strong><\/p>\n Media Advisory\u00a0 Â鶹APP to launch third World Ocean […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":348,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5270],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-material"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/348"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117950"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117950\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":117953,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117950\/revisions\/117953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
