TMCI DEADLINE: ROSEN, TRUSTED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important June 10 Deadline in Securities Class Action – TMCI

NEW YORK, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMCI) between May 8, 2023 and May 7, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 10, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Treace Medical securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Treace Medical class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit–form/?case_id=38284 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll–free at 866–767–3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 10, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) competition impacted the demand for and utilization of its primary product, the Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction System (the “Lapiplasty”); (2) as a result, Treace Medical’s revenue declined and Treace Medical needed to accelerate its plans to offer a product that was an alternative to osteotomy (a surgical procedure that involves cutting and realigning a bone to improve its position or function); and (3) defendants’ positive statements about Treace Medical’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Treace Medical class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit–form/?case_id=38284 call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll–free at 866–767–3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

The UK, the Netherlands, Egypt and Saudi Arabia among likely winners in the changing world order

LONDON, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI) studies over 250 indicators of complexity in 79 jurisdictions that represent 94% of the world's GDP. The complexity that the report measures is a dead–weight burden on business that stifles local innovation and deters foreign direct investment with no obvious societal benefit. The report has consistently shown that countries in Southern Europe and Latin America are the most complex for doing business and that continues to be true in 2025. At the other end of the scale, the least complex places to do business tend to be in Northern Europe and several of the offshore investment hubs. These all compete for investment on the basis of the ease of doing business there and have adopted less onerous requirements, as well as more efficient ways for firms to manage them.

The report notes that complexity is relatively straightforward to navigate, at least for larger multinationals able to absorb the cost of complying with local rules. What is much harder to deal with is uncertainty. US–led sanctions, lockdowns in China and the Suez blockage had already begun a shift in globalisation towards more diversified supply chains, with companies seeking to reduce their reliance on single countries for sourcing, building or selling their products. A part of that solution noted in last year’s report was the rise of connector economies like Mexico, Philippines and Vietnam, bridging trade between China and the US in the so–called ‘China plus one’ strategy. That strategy has now fallen foul of US tariffs, set to reflect a country’s trade surplus in goods with the US and so punishing countries with connector status.

Even if tariffs abate, their launch and rapid shifts point to an underlying risk for companies trading from countries with a high US trade surplus. The report notes a drop in confidence in stability, with the majority of jurisdictions (55%) reporting prioritisation of trade corridor diversity. It identifies a number of countries that might now emerge as the new connectors — with low levels of complexity pointing to business–friendly rules, a low US trade surplus pointing to less likely retaliatory action, a reasonable size and sophistication of economy to support a variety of activity at scale and absorb investment without tipping heavily into US trade surplus, and a multipolar stance that should allow them to trade across different blocs. Those countries include the UK and the Netherlands in Europe, Egypt and Saudi Arabia in the Middle East and Australia and Hong Kong in Asia Pacific.

The report finally notes that at a time of great uncertainty for global trade — and in particular, trade with the US — governments should focus on making their countries less complex places to do business whilst seeking trade agreements across different blocs to encourage cross–investment. It also notes that companies will need to further diversify their supply chains. That will add to their internal complexity and costs. At the same time, companies can help themselves by simplifying their arrangements for managing those supply chains, with many having excessive numbers of legal entities for their geographic scope along with large numbers of suppliers to help manage them.

TMF Group’s CEO Mark Weil, said:

“The real challenge for businesses today isn’t complexity, it’s uncertainty. With rising trade tensions, a shifting geopolitical landscape and economic unpredictability, companies are forced to make decisions in an environment that can change overnight. Tariffs are just the latest signal of the risks of supply chain concentration. Diversification is a necessity in this context, although it comes with a cost. The good news is that businesses can offset some of the complexities of diversification by reducing their own internal intricacies. Our benchmarking reveals stark differences in structural complexity among similar firms. We see an opportunity here: by simplifying their structures and support models — for example, by having fewer legal entities and a few trusted global partners — businesses can gain flexibility. Done right, this can improve efficiency and agility as firms navigate an uncertain world.”

Das Vereinigte Königreich, die Niederlande, Ägypten und Saudi-Arabien gehören zu den wahrscheinlichen Gewinnern in der sich verändernden Weltordnung

LONDON, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Der Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI) untersucht über 250 Komplexitätsindikatoren in 79 Ländern, die 94 % des weltweiten BIP repräsentieren. Die in dem Bericht gemessene Komplexität stellt eine Belastung für die Wirtschaft dar, die lokale Innovationen erstickt und ausländische Direktinvestitionen abschreckt, ohne dass ein offensichtlicher gesellschaftlicher Nutzen erkennbar ist. Der Bericht hat immer wieder gezeigt, dass die Länder Südeuropas und Lateinamerikas die komplexesten Wirtschaftsstandorte sind, und dies ist auch im Jahr 2025 der Fall. Am anderen Ende der Skala befinden sich Nordeuropa und einige Offshore–Investitionszentren – dies sind die am wenigsten komplexen Standorte für Unternehmen. Sie alle konkurrieren um Investitionen auf der Grundlage der Einfachheit, mit der Geschäfte getätigt werden können, und haben weniger strenge Anforderungen sowie effizientere Möglichkeiten für Unternehmen eingeführt, diese zu bewältigen.

Der Bericht stellt fest, dass die Komplexität relativ leicht zu bewältigen ist, zumindest für größere multinationale Unternehmen, die in der Lage sind, die Kosten für die Einhaltung der lokalen Vorschriften zu tragen. Weitaus schwieriger ist der Umgang mit der Unsicherheit. Die von den USA verhängten Sanktionen, die Lockdowns in China und die Blockade des Suezkanals haben bereits eine Verlagerung der Globalisierung hin zu stärker diversifizierten Lieferketten eingeleitet, wobei Unternehmen versuchen, ihre Abhängigkeit von einzelnen Ländern bei der Beschaffung, der Herstellung oder dem Verkauf ihrer Produkte zu verringern. Ein Teil dieser Lösung, der im letztjährigen Bericht erwähnt wurde, ist der Aufstieg von Verbindungsländern wie Mexiko, den Philippinen und Vietnam, die im Rahmen der sogenannten „China plus Eins“–Strategie Brücken im Handel zwischen China und den USA bilden. Diese Strategie ist nun mit den US–Zöllen in Konflikt geraten, die den Handelsüberschuss eines Landes mit den USA widerspiegeln und so Verbindungsstatus bestrafen.

Selbst wenn die Zölle sinken, deuten ihre Einführung und ihre raschen Änderungen auf ein grundlegendes Risiko für Unternehmen aus Ländern mit einem hohen US–Handelsüberschuss hin. Der Bericht stellt einen Rückgang des Vertrauens in die Stabilität fest, wobei die Mehrheit der Länder (55 %) angibt, der Diversifizierung der Handelskorridore Priorität einzuräumen. Er identifiziert eine Reihe von Ländern, die sich nun als neue Verbindungsländer herauskristallisieren könnten – mit einem geringen Komplexitätsgrad, der auf wirtschaftsfreundliche Regeln hindeutet, einem niedrigen US–Handelsüberschuss, der auf weniger wahrscheinliche Vergeltungsmaßnahmen hindeutet, einer angemessenen Größe und Komplexität der Wirtschaft, die eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten in großem Maßstab unterstützt und Investitionen absorbiert, ohne den US–Handelsüberschuss stark zu beeinträchtigen, und einer multipolaren Ausrichtung, die ihnen blockübergreifenden Handel ermöglichen sollte. Zu diesen Ländern zählen das Vereinigte Königreich und die Niederlande in Europa, Ägypten und Saudi–Arabien im Nahen Osten sowie Australien und Hongkong im asiatisch–pazifischen Raum.

Der Bericht stellt abschließend fest, dass sich Regierungen in einer Zeit großer Unsicherheit für den Welthandel – und insbesondere für den Handel mit den USA – darauf konzentrieren sollten, die Komplexität der Geschäftstätigkeit in ihren Ländern zu verringern und gleichzeitig Handelsabkommen zwischen verschiedenen Blöcken anzustreben, um gegenseitige Investitionen zu fördern. Darüber hinaus wird darauf hingewiesen, dass Unternehmen ihre Lieferketten weiter diversifizieren müssen. Dies wird ihre interne Komplexität und ihre Kosten erhöhen. Gleichzeitig können sich Unternehmen selbst helfen, indem sie ihre Regelungen zur Verwaltung dieser Lieferketten vereinfachen. Viele Unternehmen haben im Verhältnis zu ihrer geografischen Reichweite eine übermäßige Anzahl an Rechtssubjekten und zahlreiche Auftragnehmer, die bei ihrer Verwaltung helfen.

Mark Weil, CEO der TMF Group:

„Die wahre Herausforderung für Unternehmen ist heute nicht die Komplexität, sondern die Unsicherheit. Angesichts zunehmender Handelsspannungen, einer sich verändernden geopolitischen Landschaft und wirtschaftlicher Unberechenbarkeit sind Unternehmen gezwungen, Entscheidungen in einem Umfeld zu treffen, das sich über Nacht ändern kann. Zölle sind nur das jüngste Beispiel für die Risiken konzentrierter Lieferketten. Diversifizierung ist in diesem Zusammenhang notwendig, allerdings mit Kosten verbunden. Die gute Nachricht ist, dass Unternehmen einen Teil der Komplexität der Diversifizierung durch die Reduzierung ihrer internen Komplexitäten ausgleichen können. Unser Benchmarking zeigt deutliche Unterschiede in der strukturellen Komplexität zwischen ähnlichen Unternehmen. Wir sehen hier eine Chance: Durch die Vereinfachung ihrer Strukturen und Supportmodelle – beispielsweise durch weniger Rechtssubjekte und wenige vertrauenswürdige globale Partner – können Unternehmen an Flexibilität gewinnen. Richtig umgesetzt, kann dies die Effizienz und Agilität von Unternehmen in einer unsicheren Welt verbessern. “

Reino Unido, Holanda, Egito e Arábia Saudita estão entre os prováveis vencedores na ordem mundial em mudança

LONDRES, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — O Índice Global de Complexidade Empresarial (GBCI) estuda mais de 250 indicadores de complexidade em 79 jurisdições que representam 94% do PIB mundial. A complexidade que o relatório mede é um fardo de peso morto para as empresas que sufoca a inovação local e impede o investimento estrangeiro direto sem nenhum benefício social óbvio. O relatório mostrou consistentemente que os países do sul da Europa e da América Latina são os mais complexos para fazer negócios, e isso continua sendo verdade em 2025. No outro extremo da escala, os locais menos complexos para fazer negócios tendem a ser o norte da Europa e vários dos centros de investimento offshore. Todos eles competem por investimentos com base na facilidade de fazer negócios lá e adotaram requisitos menos onerosos, bem como maneiras mais eficientes para as empresas gerenciá–los.

O relatório observa que a complexidade é relativamente fácil de navegar, pelo menos para multinacionais maiores capazes de absorver o custo de cumprir as regras locais. O que é muito mais difícil de lidar é a incerteza. As sanções lideradas pelos Estados Unidos, os bloqueios na China e o bloqueio de Suez já haviam iniciado uma mudança na globalização em direção a cadeias de suprimentos mais diversificadas, com as empresas buscando reduzir sua dependência de países individuais para adquirir, construir ou vender seus produtos. Uma parte dessa solução observada no relatório do ano passado foi a ascensão de economias conectoras, como México, Filipinas e Vietnã, unindo o comércio entre a China e os EUA na chamada estratégia “China mais um”. Essa estratégia agora entrou em conflito com as tarifas dos EUA, definidas para refletir o superávit comercial de um país em mercadorias com os EUA e, portanto, punindo os países com status de conector.

Mesmo que as tarifas diminuam, seu lançamento e mudanças rápidas apontam para um risco subjacente para empresas que negociam em países com alto superávit comercial nos EUA. O relatório observa uma queda na confiança na estabilidade, com a maioria das jurisdições (55%) relatando priorização da diversidade do corredor comercial. Ele identifica vários países que podem emergir agora como os novos conectores, com baixos níveis de complexidade que apontam para regras favoráveis aos negócios, um baixo superávit comercial dos EUA que aponta para uma menor probabilidade de ação retaliatória, um tamanho e uma sofisticação razoáveis da economia para apoiar uma variedade de atividades em escala e absorver investimentos sem se inclinar fortemente para o superávit comercial dos EUA, e uma postura multipolar que deve permitir que eles comercializem em diferentes blocos. Esses países incluem o Reino Unido e a Holanda na Europa, Egito e Arábia Saudita no Oriente Médio e Austrália e Hong Kong na Ásia–Pacífico.

Por fim, o relatório observa que, em um momento de grande incerteza para o comércio global — e, em particular, para o comércio com os EUA — os governos devem se concentrar em tornar seus países menos complexos para fazer negócios e, ao mesmo tempo, buscar acordos comerciais entre diferentes blocos para incentivar o investimento cruzado. Ele também observa que as empresas precisarão diversificar ainda mais suas cadeias de suprimentos. Isso aumentará sua complexidade interna e seus custos. Ao mesmo tempo, as empresas podem se ajudar simplificando seus arranjos para gerenciar essas cadeias de suprimentos, pois muitas delas têm um número excessivo de entidades jurídicas para seu escopo geográfico, além de muitos fornecedores para ajudar a gerenciá–las.

Mark Weil, CEO da TMF Group, disse:

“O verdadeiro desafio para as empresas hoje não é a complexidade, é a incerteza. Com o aumento das tensões comerciais, um cenário geopolítico instável e a imprevisibilidade econômica, as empresas são forçadas a tomar decisões em um ambiente que pode mudar da noite para o dia. As tarifas são apenas o sinal mais recente dos riscos da concentração da cadeia de suprimentos. A diversificação é uma necessidade nesse contexto, embora tenha um custo. A boa notícia é que as empresas podem compensar algumas das complexidades da diversificação reduzindo suas próprias complexidades internas. Nosso benchmarking revela diferenças marcantes na complexidade estrutural entre empresas semelhantes. Vemos uma oportunidade aqui: ao simplificar suas estruturas e modelos de suporte, por exemplo, tendo menos entidades jurídicas e alguns parceiros globais confiáveis, as empresas podem ganhar flexibilidade. Se feito corretamente, isso pode melhorar a eficiência e a agilidade à medida que as empresas navegam em um mundo incerto.”

Le Royaume-Uni, les Pays-Bas, l’Égypte et l’Arabie saoudite semblent bien partis pour s’imposer dans un ordre mondial en pleine mutation

LONDRES, 28 mai 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — L’indice GBCI (Global Business Complexity Index) étudie plus de 250 indicateurs de complexité dans 79 juridictions représentant 94 % du PIB mondial. La complexité mesurée par le rapport constitue un fardeau inutile pour les entreprises qui freine l’innovation locale et dissuade les investissements directs étrangers, sans apporter de bénéfice social évident. Le rapport a toujours révélé que les pays d’Europe du Sud et d’Amérique latine étaient les plus complexes en termes de réglementation des activités commerciales, et cela demeure une vérité en 2025. À l’autre extrémité de l’échelle, les endroits les moins complexes pour faire des affaires se trouvent généralement en Europe du Nord et dans plusieurs centres d’investissement offshore. Tous ces pays se font concurrence pour attirer les investissements en misant sur la facilité de réalisation des activités commerciales et ont adopté des exigences moins contraignantes, ainsi que des méthodes de gestion de ces exigences plus efficaces pour les entreprises.

Le rapport souligne que la complexité est relativement facile à gérer, du moins pour les grandes multinationales capables d’absorber le coût de la mise en conformité avec les règles locales. Ce qui est beaucoup plus difficile à gérer, c’est l’incertitude. Les sanctions imposées par les États–Unis, les mesures de confinement en Chine et le blocage du canal de Suez avaient déjà amorcé une transition de la mondialisation vers des chaînes d’approvisionnement plus diversifiées, les entreprises cherchant à réduire leur dépendance à l’égard d’un seul pays pour l’approvisionnement, la fabrication ou la vente de leurs produits. Une partie de la solution évoquée dans le rapport de l’année dernière était l’essor d’économies « connectées » telles que le Mexique, les Philippines et le Vietnam, qui jouent le rôle d’intermédiaires entre la Chine et les États–Unis dans le cadre de la stratégie dite « China Plus One ». Cette stratégie se heurte désormais aux droits de douane américains, qui sont fixés en fonction de l’excédent commercial d’un pays vis–à–vis des États–Unis et pénalisent donc les pays ayant un statut de « connecteur ».

Même si ces droits de douane diminuent, leur mise en place et leur évolution rapide indiquent un risque sous–jacent pour les entreprises qui font du commerce avec des pays affichant un excédent commercial élevé vis–à–vis des États–Unis. Le rapport met en exergue une baisse de la confiance dans la stabilité, la majorité des juridictions (55 %) déclarant donner la priorité à la diversification des corridors commerciaux. Il identifie un certain nombre de pays qui pourraient désormais émerger comme de nouveaux connecteurs : ceux–ci se caractérisent par un faible niveau de complexité, signe d’une réglementation favorable aux entreprises, un faible excédent commercial vis–à–vis des États–Unis, diminuant le risque de mesures de rétorsion, une taille et une sophistication économiques raisonnables permettant de soutenir une activité diversifiée à grande échelle et d’absorber les investissements sans peser lourdement sur l’excédent commercial vis–à–vis des États–Unis, ainsi qu’une position multipolaire qui devrait leur permettre de commercer avec différents blocs. Parmi ces pays figurent le Royaume–Uni et les Pays–Bas en Europe, l’Égypte et l’Arabie saoudite au Moyen–Orient, ainsi que l’Australie et Hong Kong en Asie–Pacifique.

Le rapport conclut enfin qu’en cette période de grande incertitude pour le commerce mondial, et en particulier pour les échanges avec les États–Unis, les gouvernements doivent s’efforcer de simplifier les conditions commerciales dans leur pays tout en cherchant à conclure des accords commerciaux entre différents blocs afin d’encourager les investissements croisés. Il souligne également que les entreprises devront diversifier davantage leurs chaînes d’approvisionnement. Cela augmentera leur complexité interne et leurs coûts. Dans le même temps, les entreprises peuvent se faciliter la tâche en simplifiant leurs modalités de gestion de ces chaînes d’approvisionnement, beaucoup d’entre elles ayant un nombre excessif d’entités juridiques pour leur périmètre géographique et un grand nombre de fournisseurs pour les aider à les gérer.

Mark Weil, PDG de TMF Group, a déclaré :

« Le véritable défi pour les entreprises aujourd’hui n’est pas la complexité, mais l’incertitude. Avec l’intensification des tensions commerciales, l’évolution du paysage géopolitique et l’imprévisibilité économique, les entreprises sont contraintes de prendre des décisions dans un environnement susceptible d’évoluer du jour au lendemain. Les droits de douane ne sont que le dernier signe en date des risques liés à la concentration des chaînes d’approvisionnement. Dans ce contexte, la diversification est une nécessité, même si elle a un coût. La bonne nouvelle, c’est que les entreprises peuvent compenser certaines des complexités liées à la diversification en réduisant leurs propres complexités internes. Notre analyse comparative révèle des différences marquées en matière de complexité structurelle entre des entreprises similaires. Nous y voyons une réelle opportunité : en simplifiant leurs structures et leurs modèles de soutien, par exemple en diminuant le nombre d’entités juridiques et en s’appuyant sur quelques partenaires mondiaux de confiance, les entreprises peuvent gagner en flexibilité. Bien menée, cette démarche pourrait améliorer l’efficacité et l’agilité des entreprises dans un monde en proie à l’incertitude. »

By Naureen Hossain
UNITED NATIONS, May 28 2025 – A greater understanding and appreciation of the world’s oceans is needed to protect them. As the global community prepares to convene for the ocean conference, they must also prepare to invest in scientific efforts and education that will bolster their joint efforts.

France and Costa Rica will co-host the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, France, from June 9-13. Over the course of the week, governments, the private sector, intergovernmental groups, and non-governmental groups, among others, will convene over the urgent actions that need to be taken to promote the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans.

This year’s conference will be the first to take place during the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), which brings together stakeholders in which the UN and its partners will oversee the actions that need to be taken to protect the oceans’ unique ecosystems and biodiversity and how to promote greater awareness and research into ocean sciences and how to better protect them.

UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) oversees and tracks the progress of the UN Ocean Decade, which brings together the global ocean community on the principles of understanding, educating, and protecting the oceans.

There will be an emphasis on strengthening the data-collection capacities in the global system for observing the ocean. Data scarcity and limitations in collection methods have meant that organizations have challenges grasping the full scope of the ocean and the changes they face in the wake of climate change.

Julian Barbiere, UNESCO’s Head of Marine Policy, told reporters that science-based discussions will be at the core of UNOC. For UNESCO, there will be discussions over how to translate scientific facts into tangible climate actions. This includes scaling up the current efforts at ocean-floor mapping. At present, only 26.1 percent of the seafloor has been mapped out by modern standards, with the goal to have 100 percent of the seafloor mapped out by 2030.

Joanna Post, head of the IOC’s Ocean Observations and Services, remarked that there is a “real need for recognition” of the critical functions that the system performs, such as in monitoring weather conditions, mapping the ocean floor, maritime security, and disaster risk management. She announced a new initiative that would mobilize at least 10,000 commercial and research ships to collect data and measure the ocean. Commercial and research ship vessels play a key role in tracking and collecting data on the oceans, which Post emphasized must be shared across global channels.

UNESCO’s agenda for this forum also includes encouraging stakeholders to invest in and strengthen global education efforts on the ocean. “Education is key if we want to have a new generation that is aware of the importance of the ocean system,” said Francesca Santoro, a senior programme officer in UNESCO, leading the Ocean Literacy office.

Santoro stressed that education is not limited to students and young people; private investors should also be more aware of the importance of investing in the oceans.

UNESCO aims to continue expanding the networks of schools and educators that incorporate ocean literacy into their curricula, especially at the national level. Ocean literacy emphasizes the importance of the ocean for students, educators, and local communities within multiple contexts.

One such programme is the SEA BEYOND initiative, in partnership with the Prada Group, which provides training and lessons to over 20,000 students in over 50 countries. Under that initiative, a new multi-partner trust fund will be launched at UNOC3 on June 9, which will be used to support projects and programs that work toward ocean education and preserving ocean culture. As Santoro noted, “For many people and local communities, the main entry point to start interest in the oceans… is in [identifying] what UNESCO calls ‘intangible cultural heritage.’”

Human activity, including pollution, “directly threatens” the health of the ocean, according to Henrik Enevoldsen from UNESCO-IOC’s Centre of Ocean Science.

He announced the development of a new global assessment, led by UNESCO and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), on marine pollution, to be launched on June 12.  This would be a “major leap forward,” Enevoldsen remarked, adding that this assessment would be the first of its kind that provided a global overview of ocean pollution.
