UN building lit up with images of marine species

The United Nations headquarters in New York lit up on Wednesday night with images of marine species in an effort to symbolize the relationship between humans and the world's rich biodiversity.

It is hoped that the display will highlight the critical role of the world's oceans in the global climate. World leaders are meeting this week for the annual United Nations General Assembly to discuss global challenges, including the need to restore balance with nature and tackle the climate emergency.
