LONDON — Peter Thomson, the U.N. secretary-general's special envoy for the ocean, told CNBC that "there can be no healthy planet without a healthy ocean" as the organization launches a new 10-year project.

"We only know maybe 10% of the ocean in terms of its biome, in terms of its makeup, in terms of its sea floor, for example," he told CNBC's "Finding Solutions — Sustainability" on the sidelines of the Goals House January Dialogues event. Goals House is a collaboration between many of the world's most influential leaders and organizations, focusing on achieving the 17 U.N. Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, as a roadmap for a reset following the Covid-19 crisis.Film writer and director Richard Curtis, another participant at the event, told CNBC that he felt "in the mind of the public there is a real need for big and dramatic change," and that business was also understanding its role in sustainability.
