In her reflection titled "Disconnection," Julia Butterfly Hill introduces "separation syndrome" as the fatal consequence of severing our ties to life. She illustrates this by noting that a plant dies when its roots are ripped from the earth, mirroring how humanity perishes when we detach from our connected consciousness.

Hill argues that this profound disconnection leads to the demise of our planet, our human families, and the entire global family. Her message underscores the critical importance of recognizing and nurturing our interconnectedness for collective survival.

On December 7, 2019, C2G convened a UNFCCC COP25 side event to discuss governing emerging marine climate-altering techniques. Thelma Krug, Vice Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), participated in the panel.

These techniques are being explored within the context of the Paris Agreement and the ocean's role in achieving its goals. However, none are ready for large-scale deployment, posing significant technological and governance challenges that require stakeholder attention.

North Atlantic right whales, decimated by whaling until 1935, now face extinction. Only about 400 remain, with fewer than 100 breeding females, primarily threatened by commercial shipping and fishing.

To reverse this decline, these whales require protection from fishing gear entanglements and ship strikes. Key solutions include reducing vertical fishing lines and mandating slower ship speeds.

North Atlantic right whales, once decimated by whaling, now face extinction with only about 400 remaining, including fewer than 100 breeding females. Commercial shipping and fishing pose the primary threats.

To reverse this decline, urgent protection from fishing gear entanglements and ship strikes is essential. Reducing vertical lines from fishing gear and mandating slower ship speeds are critical steps.

North Atlantic right whale populations first crashed due to whaling, banned in 1935. Now, the species faces extinction, primarily from commercial shipping and fishing threats.

With only about 400 whales remaining, including fewer than 100 breeding females, urgent protection is vital. Reducing vertical fishing lines and requiring ships to slow down are crucial steps to prevent entanglements and ship strikes, helping to reverse their decline.
