– Global movement against ocean fossil fuel exploration
– Environmental impact of offshore drilling
– Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
A coalition of 111 environmental organizations has called for a global ban on fossil fuel exploration in oceans, citing its severe environmental impact. The groups argue that offshore drilling contributes to climate change, marine biodiversity loss, and pollution.
The campaign, backed by environmental activists and researchers, highlights the urgent need for governments to shift towards renewable energy sources. They stress that continued reliance on offshore oil and gas extraction contradicts global climate commitments and endangers marine ecosystems.
Several nations have already taken steps to limit offshore drilling, but the coalition insists on a total ban. They urge international bodies to enforce stricter regulations to protect oceans from further degradation.
