Jacob Collier and Aurora performed in the Arctic to raise awareness for climate change and ocean protection. Their performance featured a mash-up of Collier’s “A Rock Somewhere” and Aurora’s “The Seed,” filmed during a Greenpeace voyage. The event highlights Greenpeace's goal to protect 30% of the world's oceans by 2030. Currently, 32 countries support a moratorium on deep sea mining, while many tech companies have pledged not to source minerals from the deep sea. Greenpeace emphasizes the urgency of protecting ocean ecosystems, following the success of the Global Ocean Treaty last year. The organization aims to inspire global action against deep sea mining and promote ocean conservation.
