IMO喜迎海洋保护的历史性里程碑
A landmark UN treaty to safeguard marine biodiversity on the high seas has now met the required 60 ratifications for entry into force, clearing the way for it to take effect in January 2026.
一项具有里程碑意义的联合国公海生物多样性保护条约目前已达到生效所需的60国批准门槛，为2026年1月正式生效铺平道路。
The treaty, formally known as the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ agreement), was adopted by UN Member States in June 2023 after nearly two decades of negotiations.
展开剩余68%这份正式命名为《〈联合国海洋法公约〉下国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护和可持续利用协定》（BBNJ协定）的条约，历经近二十年谈判后于2023年6月获联合国成员国通过。
The pact – commonly referred to as the “High Seas Treaty” – covers two-thirds of the world’s ocean area that lies beyond national boundaries.
该协定俗称"公海条约"，覆盖各国管辖边界以外的全球三分之二的海洋。
It establishes legally binding rules to conserve and sustainably use marine biodiversity, share benefits from marine genetic resources more fairly, create protected areas, and strengthen scientific cooperation and capacity building.
它制定了具有法律约束力的规则，以养护和可持续利用海洋生物多样性，更公平地分享海洋遗传资源惠益，设立保护区，并加强科学合作与能力建设。
IMO took an active part in the negotiations during the sessions of the BBNJ Conference, to ensure that IMO will play an important role in the implementation of the BBNJ Agreement and that the new instrument will not negatively impact IMO's existing mandate and framework.
IMO积极参与了BBNJ会议期间的谈判，以确保IMO在BBNJ协定实施中发挥重要作用，同时确保该协定不会对IMO现有职责和框架产生负面影响。
Many IMO measures actively contribute to the conservation of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction, including the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). The BBNJ Agreement and the IMO’s 2025 World Maritime Day theme - “Our Ocean: Our Obligation – Our Opportunity”- are deeply interlinked and they correlate in both spirit and substance.
IMO的多项措施积极助力国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的养护，其中包括《国际防止船舶造成污染公约》。BBNJ协定与IMO 2025年世界海事日主题“我们的海洋：我们的责任，我们的机遇”深度契合，在精神与实质上相互呼应。
