The summit's major sin of omission. "The ocean, over two-thirds of the planet, is completely absent from the programme. It is neither one of the eight 'action areas' on which governments and other key players are invited to announce bold new commitments, nor one of the 'thematic sessions' where states and stakeholders will share solutions. The summit is keeping its feet firmly on dry land and is highlighting the huge gap between scientific knowledge and political action....Science is showing us that there can be no solution to the climate challenge without a healthy ocean, which is currently in sharp decline." David Miliband, José María Figueres and Trevor Manuel in The Guardian.
