00:00Posted by Prince Albert, the final day of the Blue Economy and Finance Forum in Monaco
00:04closed with leaders pledging their support and calling for global responsibility to protect
00:09the oceans.
00:10Speaking at the forum, Prince William said the challenge of protecting the world's oceans
00:14was like none that we have faced before and that the clock is ticking.
00:20Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron criticized countries that deny climate change
00:24and cut budgets on this matter in a clear allusion to the U.S. in his closing speech.
00:30On entend dire qu'au fond, le changement climatique, la menace sur la biodiversité, la question
00:37des océans, tout ça, ce serait une affaire d'opinion.
00:40Je vais vous dire non, on n'a pas le droit de faire ça, parce que ça n'est pas une
00:45opinion, mais c'est scientifiquement établi.
00:47A major focus of the week-long summit was to push to ratify the high seas treaty which would
00:52enable conservation in international war.
00:55The forum is the precursor to the United Nations' oceans conference in Nice next week where
00:59more than 50 world leaders are expected to attend.
01:02However, the United States administration will not send any representative.
