The United Nations theme for 2026 is a call to #ReimagineOurOcean 🌍
The balance between depletion and restoration is dangerously close to tipping irreversibly in the wrong direction. A #HealthyOcean and a #HealthyPlanet cannot exist without each other; we must push for stronger international policies and action at all levels to safeguard both.
🔸 90% of global fish stocks are depleted.
🔸 50% of the world's coral reefs have been destroyed.
🔸 There has been a 30% increase in ocean acidity compared to pre-industrial times.
🔸 Sea levels are rising by 3.7 mm per year.
🔸 12 million tonnes of plastic waste enter our oceans every year.
🔸 The polar regions have recorded their lowest-ever sea ice coverage in the last 40 years.
In 2026, after nearly two decades of negotiations, the historic #BBNJ Agreement officially came into force. This is a major win for conservation and the sustainable use of the high seas 🦈🦀🐳
There is reason for hope if we can #Reimagine a new relationship with our ocean 💙

🌐 World No Tobacco Day 🚭 - May 31st
Despite the well-known adverse health effects, smoking remains one of the greatest preventable health risks worldwide.
Everything you need to know ➡️ https://t.co/nnKy3mX0BM - follow us and share 📢
The use of traditional cigarettes has significantly declined, but the popularity of e-cigarettes, vapes, and nicotine pouches has resulted in rising addiction rates 📈
#WNTD was established by the World Health Organisation to educate the public about the dangers of tobacco products, the immoral business practices of the industry, and to help people claim their right to a healthy lifestyle 💪
The 2026 campaign “Unmask the appeal – countering tobacco and nicotine addiction”, highlights how modern products with colourful designs, sweet flavours, and glamourised advertising target young people.
🔸Tobacco claims approximately 8 million lives annually.
🔸Lifelong smokers live an average of 10 years less than non-smokers.
🔸Globally, over 100 million people use e-cigarettes - 15 million are teenagers.
🔸Children are now nine times more likely to vape than adults.
🔸Lobbying by the vaping industry is highly aggressive and pervasive. It is largely funded by Big Tobacco companies, which are worth more than $60 billion.
“The tobacco epidemic is far from over” - WHO
We must continue to raise awareness of the risks, protect children, and support bans and stricter regulations on the purchase of tobacco products.

Alongside #Palestinians 🇵🇸 around the world, we mark #NakbaDay on May 15.

Al Nakba translates to "The Catastrophe" in Arabic. The day commemorates the events which took place in 1948, when 750,000 Palestinian refugees were created as they were violently displaced in the establishment of the State of Israel.
78 years later, the #IsraeliOccupation continues, and an estimated 6 to 9 million Palestinians still live as refugees.
The day serves as a time of mourning and remembrance, and also aims to raise international awareness about their historical and ongoing struggle for rights and recognition.
