在6月8日世界海洋日到来之际,秘书长阿塞尼奥·多明格斯强调国际集体行动的势头必须增强而非减弱。
国际海事组织(IMO)秘书长阿塞尼奥·多明格斯呼吁国际社会通过 renewed 全球承诺与行动来展现"多边主义的力量",共同保护海洋。
值此世界海洋日(6月8日)及联合国海洋大会(6月9-13日,法国尼斯)前夕,多明格斯敦促各国政府、行业及民间社会把握契机开展全球合作,为子孙后代做出正确抉择。
他表示:
"守护我们赖以生存的珍贵海洋环境与资源是所有人的责任。各国政府、行业组织、民间***这是我们的海洋,我们的义务,更是我们的机遇。值此世界海洋日,让我们重申集体承诺,通过多边行动的力量加强保护工作。海洋与地球的未来系于此举。"
2025联合国海洋大会聚焦航运业
为彰显海运业对海洋保护的贡献,多明格斯将率代表团出席6月9-13日在尼斯举行的第三届联合国海洋大会。
他将与各国领导人、海洋科学专家、民间社会及***部门代表会晤,推动各方携手发挥航运业潜力支持海洋行动。
作为海洋空间的最大使用者,航运业承担着全球80%以上的贸易运输,每年为海洋经济贡献逾9000亿美元。
为整合行业专业经验,IMO全球产业联盟(GIA)建立了成熟的公私合作模式,汇聚航运企业及其他海洋产业领导者,共同支持IMO气候与海洋倡议。
IMO将在尼斯海洋大会上宣布成立两个新的全球产业联盟,针对水下噪声和海洋塑料污染问题动员行动。
强化行动力度
IMO renewed 的承诺基于七十年来通过技术合作制定国际法规、保护海洋环境免受航运活动危害的经验。
相关措施已显著减少全球油轮泄漏、船舶失事、集装箱损失及空气污染事件。
当前IMO正从三方面着力应对气候变化、污染和生物多样性丧失这三大地球危机:
● 气候行动:制定新规削减船舶温室气体排放,规范脱碳技术应用
● 防治污染:通过修订版全球行动计划解决海洋塑料垃圾问题
● 保护生物多样性:建立具有约束力的法律框架防止船舶传播入侵水生物种,协助成员国应对水下噪声问题

Ahead of World Oceans Day (8 June), Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez says the momentum for collective international action must grow stronger, not wane.
The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Mr. Arsenio Dominguez, has called on the international community to demonstrate the “power of multilateralism” by renewing global commitments and actions to protect the ocean.
Leading up to World Oceans Day (8 June) and to the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, France (9-13 June), Mr. Dominguez urged governments, industry and civil society to seize the moment as an opportunity for global cooperation to do the right thing for future generations. He said:
“We all have a responsibility to safeguard our precious marine environment and resources, on which we all depend. Governments, industries, civil society: this is our ocean, our obligation – and our opportunity. This World Ocean Day, let us reaffirm our collective commitment to intensify our work through the power of multilateral action. The ocean and the planet depend on it.”
Spotlight on shipping at UN Ocean Conference 2025
To promote the maritime sector’s role in ocean protection, Mr. Dominguez will head a delegation to the Third United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice (9-13 June). He will meet world leaders, ocean science experts, civil society and private sector representatives to engage them in joint efforts that leverage the capacity of the shipping industry to support ocean action.
As the largest user of ocean space, shipping moves over 80% of global trade and contributes more than USD 900 billion annually to the ocean economy. To harness the sector’s vast expertise and experience, the IMO’s Global Industry Alliance (GIA) offers a proven public-private partnership model, bringing together maritime companies and leaders from other ocean industries to support IMO climate and ocean initiatives.
IMO will announce two new Global Industry Alliances to mobilize action on underwater noise and marine plastic pollution at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice.
Intensifying action
IMO’s renewed commitment builds on seven decades of setting international regulations and standards to protect the marine environment from harmful shipping activities, backed by technical cooperation. These measures have significantly reduced oil spills, ship losses, container losses and air pollution globally.
IMO is currently intensifying its work to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss by:
● Acting on climate: Developing new regulations to cut greenhouse gas emissions from ships and regulate decarbonization technologies
● Preventing marine pollution: Addressing sea-based sources of marine plastic litter through a revised global action plan
● Preserving biodiversity: Developing a binding legal framework to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species via ships, and supporting Member States in tackling underwater noise.
