Program Description

Event Details

Areas of the seas beyond national jurisdiction comprise
the high seas, which are facing a degradation of
ecosystems due to climate change and the increase
in human activities, such as shipping, overfishing,
pollution, and deep-sea mining. The recently negotiated
High Seas Treaty, also known as the Biodiversity
Beyond National Jurisdiction treaty, will attempt to
address these issues. How difficult will it be to convince
nations to participate?

The Jackson Branch will meet on Mondays starting JAN 29, from 6:00-7:30 PM

In-person in the Ordway Auditorium, as well as Online via Zoom.

Both groups will watch the videos together, but the online and in-person discussions are separate.
