SUMMARY:Coral Reef Monitoring & Evaluation: Insights for Conservation Impacts
DESCRIPTION:The Caribbean Chapter of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) is hosting this session to explore how collaborative reef monitoring and effective reporting can drive conservation actions for greater impact. The Caribbean represents 1% of the world’s marine environment but supports 10% of global coral reefs\, including the Mesoamerican Reef—the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. \nGCRMN Caribbean will launch the first Caribbean Report Card in June 2025 at UNOC 3 in Nice\, France. This report will provide data and policy recommendations for countries contributing to the initiative\, modelled after the Healthy Reefs Initiative’s work in the Mesoamerican Reef. The 2024 Mesoamerican Reef Report Card may also be launched simultaneously in the four host countries (Mexico\, Belize\, Guatemala\, and Honduras) and internationally at COP-16. \nThe session kicks off with the launch of the Report Card\, followed by a Q&A. It will then cover plans for the 2025 Caribbean Report Card and the outcomes of the October 2024 Data Analysis Workshop in Puerto Morelos\, Mexico. Finally\, GCRMN and ICRI will discuss global strategies for advancing reef monitoring and conservation efforts. \nLead Organisation: Healthy Reefs for Healthy People \nCo-organisation(s): The Regional Activity Centre for the Protocol Concerning Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife for the Wider Caribbean Region (SPAW-RAC)\, Mesoamerican Reef Fund (MARFund) \n  \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)

SUMMARY:High Seas Coral Reefs: Important Ecosystems in need of protection
DESCRIPTION:This event will feature expert speakers on three critical marine sites that highlight the importance of high seas coral reefs\, and the work being done to secure protections through partnerships activated by the Coral Reefs of the High Seas Coalition. This will be a space to showcase the scientific and political work progressing for the Salas y Gomez and Nazca ridges\, and the science background for the Saya de Malha Bank in the Western Indian Ocean\, and the Atlantic Fracture. \nThe event will start at 11:00AM with 45min of questions to our panelists\, followed by a question an answer section\, and concluding with the remaining time used for participants to network\, continue this dialogue\, and learn more about these special places.

SUMMARY:Ocean-Climate Financing for a Resilient Future: Commonwealth Approaches and Solutions
DESCRIPTION:The event will focus on enhancing ocean and climate resilience through building capacity and access to innovative financing solutions for marine conservation. The session will begin with a presentation on key Commonwealth initiatives\, spotlighting the Commonwealth’s efforts to promote and finance sustainable ocean governance and conservation\, through its Blue Charter initiative and Climate Finance Access Hub. \nHighlighted strategies will include data-driven approaches to supporting financing proposals\, leveraging public-private partnerships\, and the use of innovative financial instruments to fund conservation efforts. The event aims to provide attendees with actionable insights into scaling these models and forming new partnerships that can advance climate resilience\, adaptation and biodiversity conservation across the Commonwealth. This session is designed for policymakers\, financial institutions\, and environmental leaders seeking to foster collaboration and invest in ocean-climate solutions for a sustainable future. \nLead Organisation: The Commonwealth Blue Charter \nDOWNLOAD THE AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD THE SUMMARY (.PDF)

SUMMARY:Safeguarding Pacific Coral Reefs: Resilience\, Restoration\, and Sustainable Solutions.
DESCRIPTION:The Pacific region is home to approximately 25% of the world’s corals. They are ecologically and socially important for the islands and their people\, biodiversity and economies. \nCoral reefs are impacted by human-induced threats and large-scale responses to the anthropogenic threats are urgently needed. To prevent Pacific coral reefs degrading further\, substantial effort is needed. \nThis event will feature efforts and approaches undertaken by the Pacific region\, practitioners\, and partners to safeguard coral reefs. It will be an opportunity to highlight the Pacific Coral Reef Action Plan endorsed by Pacific Leaders in 2021 to ensure coordinate efforts that would result in the overall vision of improving the resilience and health of reef ecosystems in the Pacific islands. \n\nDOWNLOAD THE SUMMARY (.PDF)
