Take The Healthy Ocean Action Pledge!

This is our promise to take action EVERY MONTH of 2022 that will move us toward a just transition into a climate resilient world.

We are facing extraordinary challenges that demand swift and bold action. Three-fourths of the planet’s lands and two-thirds of its ocean areas have already been significantly altered by human activities—and on our current trajectory amplified by climate change we risk losing so much more. Failure to act urgently, rooted in justice and equity, to protect our planet will place our communities at further risk.

There is so much we can do when we take our individual voices and raise them together for change. So take the Healthy Ocean Action Pledge with the Healthy Ocean Coalition. Each month we will offer a range of actions or highlight actions of our partners organizations that you can take to raise your voice for change. These actions will focus on community-building, individual action, or systemic change.

The Healthy Ocean Action Pledge:

I will take one action every month toward a healthy and livable ocean.

I will take action that reduces my individual impact on the ocean.

I will take action that invests in the health and resilience of the communities I am part of.

I will take action calling for the just and equitable systemic changes required to ensure a healthy ocean and mitigate the worst impacts of climate change.
