00:11Macron said this as a welcomed delegate, including heads of state and environmental advocates to the French southern city of Nice, host to this week's United Nations Ocean Conference.
00:22He urged nations to turn decades of promises into real protection for the sea and commit to a moratorium on deep sea exploitation.
00:32Merci beaucoup à toutes et tous d'être là. Je salue les chefs d'État et de gouvernement. On ne va rien lâcher, je veux qu'on arrive à un accord pour toute la planète.
00:40Parce que c'est complètement fou. C'est complètement fou d'aller exploiter, d'aller forer un endroit qu'on ne connaît pas. C'est de la folie furieuse.
00:52More than 50 world leaders are attending the third United Nations Ocean Conference this week to confront growing threats to the ocean and the needs to transform pledges into protection.
