The ocean is a vital component of our planet, supporting life through carbon absorption, temperature regulation, and its growing importance in the global market. However, we are currently facing two urgent challenges at sea: widespread environmental destruction and escalating inequality in the ocean economy. In his book, Chris Armstrong argues that existing governing institutions are inadequate in addressing these pressing issues and proposes the establishment of a powerful World Ocean Authority to tackle these crises effectively.
Armstrong delves into various aspects of these crises, including the impact of sea level rise on coastal communities, the exploitation of fishing workers, and the rights of marine animals. He highlights the failure of current policies and institutions to address these problems and advocates for a transformative approach that prioritizes equality, democracy, and sustainability in ocean politics.
A Blue New Deal presents a radical manifesto for achieving these goals. It calls for the creation of a global network of marine protected areas, the implementation of sustainable fishing practices, and the recognition of the rights of indigenous communities and coastal states. The book also emphasizes the importance of democratic governance and citizen participation in decision-making processes related to the ocean.
By adopting the principles outlined in A Blue New Deal, we can strive to protect and restore the health of our oceans, ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come. The book provides a compelling guide to recovery and is an inspiring and invigorating read, as it offers hope and solutions for a pressing global challenge.
