How to ensure peace and justice in climate action | Susana Paola Navas Hernández posted on the topic | LinkedIn
Feeling safe is a basic human need—yet, for many, it’s not a reality. Whatever our ethnicity, faith, or sexual orientation, we all deserve to live without fear of violence or insecurity.

Our oceans shape climate and livelihoods, but demand keeps growing. SDG14 and the PSMA show progress: 103 States now enforcing measures. Still, balancing ecosystems health with economic needs is a systemic challenge. How do we design a future where both can thrive.
