Rampant marine pollution, ocean acidification, ocean warming, depleting fish stocks and species, illegal and destructive fishing practices, degraded coastal ecosystems, inadequate ocean governance, the list of problems goes on.\u00a0 But just as all of these problems are caused by human activity, it is humanity that has the power to provide the solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That is what The Ocean Conference is based upon, Excellencies, a clear enunciation from global authorities of the problems besetting the Ocean, and a global response of solutions, so that we have a communal work plan for remedial action in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Taken together, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Paris Climate Agreement, provide us with a universal masterplan to create a sustainable way of life for humanity on this planet.\u00a0 Here I pause to congratulate the Government and People of Fiji for the leadership Fiji is taking as Chair of COP23 and as Co-President of The Ocean Conference.\u00a0 In the face of mighty global challenges, Fiji is at the front line of remedial action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Through Sustainable Development Goal 14, world leaders have committed to restoring the Ocean\u2019s health and ensuring the sustainability of its resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">But as the President of Palau said earlier this week, the time has come for this commitment to be converted from words into action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is in this context that this Regional Preparatory Meeting takes on particular importance for it is an integral part of the Call for Action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It was the steadfast commitment and leadership of Pacific Small Island Developing States that led to the inclusion of SDG 14 in the 2030 Agenda. Again it was the Pacific that demanded a process of accountability so that the world stayed true to the noble aims of SDG14.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Now we must be at the forefront of ensuring the success of The Ocean Conference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This includes by promoting the Conference, by participating at the highest possible levels, and by helping to mobilise high-level attendance from nations beyond those traditionally engaged on the Ocean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And this includes our leading efforts to shape the three structured outcomes of the Ocean Conference, so that they have a lasting impact on the health of the Ocean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Regarding the Ocean Conference\u2019s Call for Action document, I urge the PSIDS to continue close engagement in the negotiations, so that we are able to secure a universal, ambitious and succinct text that mobilizes Ocean action, follow up and review. \u00a0\u00a0The real work starts after the Conference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You have been made aware of the central importance of the Registry of Voluntary Commitments now open on the Conference website. The breadth and scope of the commitments on the register will be the main reference tool to implement our work in support of SDG14 implementation in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I therefore encourage all PSIDS to lead by example by making bold commitments to action, registering your commitments now, and helping to build global momentum for action that pushes implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the Paris Climate Agreement, the SAMOA Pathway, and other relevant multilateral frameworks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I also urge all PSIDS to encourage regional institutions, civil society organisations, the private sector, and other partners, to make and register voluntary Ocean commitments \u2013 either as individuals or in partnerships. The online register awaits your commitments to action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Finally, on the Partnership Dialogues that will be held during the Conference, I encourage PSIDS to engage actively in each of these sessions. Pacific perspectives on each of these seven subjects must be reflected in the summaries of the Partnership Dialogue discussions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Excellencies, Ladies and Gentleman<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In order for The Ocean Conference to meet its transformational aims, it is essential that it is not a one-off gathering, but rather that it is a starting point to implementing universal action, follow-up and review.\u00a0 PSIDS should continue to demand that triennial Ocean Conferences hold the global community accountable to SDG14 as we push on through to fulfilment by 2030.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">And we here in the Pacific must hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability for the commitments that we make, so that we lead the world in staying true to the noble intent of SDG14.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Only then will we be able to say to our grandchildren that we have done everything within our powers to bequeath them with an Ocean still full of the joy and bounty that we have witnessed in our lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I thank you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As delivered Remarks by H.E.
