ISA hands contract extension to TMC despite support for unlawful deep sea mining, proving need for immediate moratorium, says Greenpeace

AI justification

ISA's contract extension enables harmful deep sea mining despite opposition. | The ISA Council's extension of NORI's contract undermines global efforts to protect marine ecosystems and indigenous rights, directly violating planetary boundaries and animal rights. While Greenpeace's condemnation and advocacy are positive consciousness-raising actions, the core institutional decision remains ethically negative due to its environmental and rights violations.
