The Parliamentary Assembly's Recommendation 2273 emphasizes the importance of linking human rights and environmental protection, particularly concerning the health of seas and oceans, as part of the Council of Europe's Reykjavik Process. It calls for enhanced tools and stable funding to address the challenges of pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 14 on ocean conservation. The Assembly urges the Committee of Ministers to prioritize comprehensive protection of marine environments in strategic planning, uphold human rights in environmental initiatives, leverage its observer status with the International Maritime Organization to raise awareness, and collaborate closely with civil society and relevant organizations to safeguard marine ecosystems.
