Macron at UN Ocean Conference urges world leaders to better protect oceans

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday traveled to Portugal after attending the NATO summit in neighboring Spain to make a speech at the U.N. Ocean Conference in Lisbon. After his speech at the plenary, Macron took a stroll along the Tagus River with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa before speaking with other officials at an informal session in a nearby aquarium. Macron urged other world leaders to better protect the planet’s oceans by adopting an international agreement modeled on the legally binding Paris Climate Accords.
