As Chair of UNDP, I welcome you to our session on combatting plastic and ocean pollution. Let us engage in a dialogue that is both ambitious and collaborative, unburdened by fear. This is not a debate to win, but a shared pursuit of solutions for our planet's vital marine ecosystems. Let curiosity and expression guide us towards innovative, sustainable policies. May our discussions embody the spirit of the Model United Nations. Together, let us make a lasting impact on our oceans' future.
