Jean-Noel Barrot, appointed by Macron as Minister for Europe, is proving to be a strong advocate for international cooperation, particularly at the U.N. Oceans Conference in Nice. While the U.S. is notably absent from the event, Barrot highlights the participation of American scientists and local leaders, emphasizing the significance of global dialogue on pressing issues like ocean conservation and climate action. His role reflects France's attempt to provide a counterbalance to the U.S.'s shifting foreign policy and engage the world in critical environmental discussions.
Barrot emphasized that despite the absence of U.S. leadership at the U.N. Oceans Conference, numerous American organizations and cities still actively participated, showing a commitment to global discussions.
He noted the crucial need for international cooperation on issues like fishing regulation and deep-sea mining to combat ocean degradation and enhance global warming responses.
