This is the final episode of my series '30 voices from the UN Ocean Conference'. Part 1 centred on the voices of youth engaged in the ocean space, while part 2 was all about women. This final episode cuts across the board.

The people you will hear care deeply about the Ocean. But also about human rights, peace, climate justice, and solidarity with living beings, whether they are humans or from other species. They are artists, translators, activists, directors, solutionists and profoundly optimist. They share about their achievements during this UN Ocean Conference, but also their criticism, their doubts and how much further we have to go, still.
