More than 30 countries on the Atlantic Ocean are forming a partnership to cooperate on issues such as technology, a sustainable ocean economy and climate change, theThe Partnership for Atlantic Cooperation involves nations from four continents and was forged on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York City.
“This is the first multilateral entity of this scope open to all Atlantic nations, bridging four continents,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told participants at a ministerial meeting in New York late Monday. “And at a moment when there’s some doubt about our ability to come together in common cause, we’re showing with this initiative that it is indeed possible.”
“The Atlantic connects and sustains us like never before. More commercial and shipping traffic across the Atlantic than any other ocean. More data travels along its underwater cables than any other ocean. It’s home to more than half of the world’s fisheries. In sum, the Atlantic is an ocean of opportunity and an ocean that connects us in a multiplicity of ways,” Mr. Blinken said.
“I think it’s also fair to say that we’re linked by common challenges,” he said. “It’s the heating and cooling of the Atlantic that is driving global climate and weather patterns. And as the ocean warms and sea levels rise, that in turn is disrupting marine ecosystems and the communities that depend on them, threatening livelihoods, exacerbating food insecurity.”said the partnership built on last year’s Joint Statement on Atlantic Cooperation, which laid the groundwork for a formal partnership.
