Dear Atlas Member
This month, the Yeosu Expo 2012, the international exposition in Yeosu, South Korea celebrating the theme The Living Ocean and Coast winds up with the reading of the Yeosu Declaration. As a legacy of the Expo, the Yeosu Declaration is intended to both emphasize the challenges faced by oceans and coasts as well as promoting the international cooperation needed to turn those challenges into hopes for the future. At Yeosu, there will also be an international conference to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the opening for signature of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Many UN Atlas partners have been involved in Yeosu Expo 2012 activities, including in contributing to the UN Pavilion which featured exhibits on Oceans and Coasts: Connecting Our Lives, Ensuring Our Future- The Choice is Yours. Other news this month includes information on emerging climate change effects and reports on recently-launched documents.
