Correct answer: (d) Oceans

Explanation

The Lisbon Declaration is related to the conservation of oceans. It may be noted that in 2022, a five-day United Nations Ocean Conference was concluded, in which more than 150 countries collectively agreed to scale up science-based and innovative actions to address the marine emergency. The declaration, along with bold commitments from all sections of society—youth, civil society, businesses, and the scientific community—clearly demonstrates the centrality of a safe, healthy, and productive ocean for food security, livelihoods, and a secure planet. The conference was co-hosted by Portugal and Kenya. More than 100 countries joined the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, pledging to protect 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030.
