‘Save our oceans,’ Oscar winner Bardem tells UN
Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem made an impassioned plea at the United Nations to save the world’s oceans Monday. The Spaniard, a keen environmental activist, called on countries to agree to a treaty that would protect at least 30 percent of seas by 2030. “We just can’t afford to get it wrong,” he told an intergovernmental meeting at the UN’s headquarters in New York. Bardem spoke as a representative of Greenpeace, which is campaigning for the Global Ocean Treaty being discussed at the UN. The environmental group says the UN’s 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea does not go far enough to protect the planet’s oceans.
