“…As times change and objective circumstances evolve, international maritime rules are in a continuous process of development and evolution. For example, the Agreement under the UNCLOS on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity beyond Areas of National Jurisdiction (the BBNJ Agreement) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly (Wang, 2023;Kim, 2024). Draft Regulations on Exploitation of Mineral Resources in the Area are being negotiated under the International Seabed Authority (Blanchard et al, 2023).…”

As multilateralism evolves and China’s ocean awareness grows, China remains actively engaged in global ocean governance. The country has introduced the initiative of Building a Maritime Community with a Shared Future (MCSF), offering fresh perspectives for global ocean governance. The MCSF demonstrates both compatibility and adaptability with the evolving landscape of global ocean governance. This study is grounded in the historical context of the formation and evolution of China’s ocean consciousness within the broader framework of global ocean governance. Taking China’s contemporary ocean consciousness, the MCSF as the focal point, it analyzes the practical feasibility of integrating the MCSF with the evolving frameworks of global ocean governance. It is concluded that this integration process should involve ongoing review and refinement as the MCSF continues to develop.

Global biodiversity is facing unprecedented pressures, calling into question the effectiveness of existing governance systems aimed at halting extinctions. Renewed hope arose with the recent Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15 December 2022) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (COP19 November 2022). Yet, barriers remain that hamper biodiversity conservation. Identifying and overcoming these barriers is crucial for success. We considered previous lessons learned to show that current barriers to conservation are centered on a multidimensional array of mismatches among legal (law), ecological (science), and sociocultural (human) dimensions across the short, medium, and long term. Focusing on highly migratory marine megafauna (whales, sharks, and turtles), we used the Rubik's cube as a metaphor to conceptualize the multidimensional mismatches and devised a pathway for solutions that is highly dependent on strict alignment across all dimensions. We recommend the continuous cycling across all dimension interfaces to align the use (and update) of regulations and processes in law, improve data and experimentation methods in science, and develop education and engagement actions in the human dimension. This timely alignment across all dimensions is key to achieving biodiversity targets and avoiding further extinctions.
