Protecting the ocean begins with the vision and commitment of those who defend it every day.
At the floating headquarters of Marevivo Foundation, President Rosalba Giugni hosted a meeting dedicated to the vital role of water and oceans for the planet’s future, together with economist Jeremy Rifkin, author of the book Planet Aqua
During the discussion, Giugni stressed the urgent need to safeguard marine ecosystems and support global goals such as the Global Biodiversity Framework and the “30×30” target, which aims to protect at least 30% of land and oceans by 2030 through stronger Marine Protected Areas.
At the end of the event, Marevivo awarded Rifkin the title of Knight of the Sea, recognizing his contribution to spreading a new culture of sustainability and water-centered policies.
For Rosalba Giugni, the challenge is above all cultural: bringing the sea back to the center of political, economic, and social choices, because the future of our planet depends on the health of our oceans.
