SUMMARY:The Coastal Risk Index: Building Resilience with Nature
DESCRIPTION:With climate change intensifying\, coastal communities are grappling with increased vulnerabilities from flood risks and ecosystem degradation\, which not only threatens biodiversity\, but also amplifies the risk to infrastructure\, economies\, and lives. Coastal ecosystems are a first line of defence against climate risks such as flooding and storm surges. Without these natural protections\, more than 14 million people and over $363 billion of assets would be at risk of coastal flooding. \nORRAA’s Coastal Risk Index (CRI) is a ground-breaking modelling tool that equips policymakers\, financial institutions\, investors\, insurers and infrastructure project managers with unparalleled insights into ocean risks and the critical role of Nature-based Solutions in building cost-effective coastal resilience. During Ocean Day at COP16\, ORRAA will use the event to go live with the new interactive data platform and outline how it can be used to quantify the value of coastal ecosystems and inform risk management and resilience-building strategies. ORRAA will highlight how the CRI has been implemented in a case study for the Dominican Republic (DR) to map the impacts of flooding on vulnerable people and how Nature-based Solutions can be leveraged to build resilience along the DRs coastline. The panel will convene stakeholders to discuss where coastal risk data can be leveraged to increase finance into Nature-based Solutions and inform critical pathways at COP16 and beyond. \n  \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)

SUMMARY:On track or off course? Achieving the 30x30 target in the ocean
DESCRIPTION:Protecting 30% of the ocean is essential to safeguard both our ocean’s diverse ecosystems and human health and livelihoods. In December 2022\, governments adopted the Global Biodiversity Framework\, with its landmark global target of protecting and conserving at least 30% of land and ocean by 2030 (‘30×30’). With the focus now on implementation\, it is essential that countries demonstrate leadership and continue momentum for our ocean by announcing new marine protected areas and enhancing and improving existing protections. \nThis event will showcase the findings of a new report commissioned by the Bloomberg Ocean Fund and developed in partnership with Campaign for Nature\, the Marine Conservation Institute\, and SkyTruth. Off track or on course? Assessing progress toward achieving the 30×30 target in the ocean\, assesses progress toward the global target of protecting and conserving 30% of the ocean by 2030. \nAlongside a discussion of the report’s findings\, the event will showcase examples of action and best practice at local and national levels. The aim is to generate momentum and share learning in the implementation of 30×30 in the ocean. \nLead Organisation: Bloomberg Philanthropic Ocean Initiative \nDOWNLOAD THE AGENDA (.PDF)

SUMMARY:Enabling Nature Markets for Coral Reef Conservation
DESCRIPTION:This panel will bring together scientific\, financial\, standard-setter and practitioner perspectives to explore how rigorous coral biodiversity accounting and monitoring science can and should underpin high-integrity market-based approaches to finance coral reef conservation\, such as coral biodiversity credits\, stewardship incentives\, insurance products and other mechanisms. \nFollowing opening remarks from the Biodiversity Credits Alliance (BCA)\, Global Fund for Coral Reefs (GFCR) and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation (GBRF)\, panellists from Conservation International\, The Nature Conservancy\, Verra\, the Conservation Finance Alliance and Mirova\, will discuss and provide examples of the opportunity for Nature Markets to drive private sector investment and empower First Nations Peoples and reef communities to accelerate and scale up coral reef conservation\, restoration and adaptation. \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF)

SUMMARY:[Invite Only] Forging Coral Reef Resilience - A Now or Never Moment for Action
DESCRIPTION:* This event is closed and by invitation only * \nThe high-level convening will emphasise the urgent need for the acceleration of resilience based strategies to protect coral reef ecosystems. Amidst the 4th mass bleaching\, the event will encompass a high-level strategy session to overview needed actions including ecosystem-based approaches and targeted resilience solutions\, as well as concrete steps being taken by states\, philanthropies and private sector to scale efforts. A segment of the convening will also feature a discussion on the coming 2025 UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) and the significance of coral reefs in its action agenda. Following the main event segments\, a networking convening will aim to facilitate collaboration among key stakeholders for coral action.
