At the forefront of these alliances is the High Ambition Coalition, which the UAE joined in 2019 to protect at least 30% of the world’s land and oceans by 2030, in addition to the Global Oceans Alliance, which was launched by the United Kingdom and joined by the UAE in 2020 to become the first country in the Middle East region to join the alliance to promote the #ProtectionOfOceans and the marine environment globally from pressures such as pollution, climate change, and #Overfishing.
