#ForCoral Pavilion

21st October - 1st November 2024

Welcome to the #ForCoral Pavilion – a dedicated space hosted at Centro de Eventos Valle Del Pacífico (CEVP) during COP16 by the International Coral Reef Initiative and coral reef community to showcase coral reefs and associated ecosystems.

The #ForCoral Pavilion will bring together spokespeople for coral reefs, policy makers, indigenous peoples and local communities, investors, and conservation practitioners from around the world to showcase their work and to continue to raise awareness on the importance of healthy coral reefs.

Located in the Blue Zone from October 21 to November 1, the #ForCoral Pavilion will be open daily, offering a vital platform for discussions and initiatives focused on coral reef conservation.

A rich programme to engage a global audience

The #ForCoral Pavilion stands as a critical platform for one of the world’s most threatened, yet valuable, ecosystems at the occasion of the UN Biodiversity Conference CBD COP16. It highlights the urgent need for coral reef conservation, fostering global collaboration and innovation to protect these vital marine ecosystems. As a beacon for collective action, the Pavilion aims to drive solutions that ensure the survival and resilience of coral reefs, emphasising their importance in the broader context of the Biodiversity Plan.

 

All event timings are in COT (GMT +5) and will be livestreamed [Link coming soon].

What to expect

  2. Quick Fire Talks
  3. Launch of new initiatives and projects; and
  4. Networking Opportunities where participants will have the chance to connect with the coral reef community fostering new collaborations and partnerships.
