What is the global significance of the UN's approval of the Global Hadal Exploration Programme (GHEP)?

The UN has officially approved the Global Hadal Exploration Programme (GHEP), a Chinese-led initiative to coordinate global research on the hadal zone (6,000-11,000 meters deep). This program aims to transform fragmented research into a unified global mission, focusing on exploration, understanding, and protection of these largely unexplored ecosystems. The initiative involves collaboration with researchers from 10 countries and will leverage China's advanced deep-sea technology, including the Fendouzhe submersible.
