Glasgow councillors are being urged to support a new international treaty aimed at protecting marine wildlife on the high seas.
The High Seas Treaty treaty, drafted at the beginning of March this year, would provide a “legal framework” for establishing marine protected areas (MPAs) in international waters to protect against the loss of wildlife.
It is also crucial for enforcing the 30x30 pledge made by countries at the UN biodiversity conference in December to protect a third of the sea and land by 2030.
