SUMMARY:Preserving the Future: The World Coral Conservatory Initiative
DESCRIPTION:The World Coral Conservatory (WCC) is a groundbreaking global initiative led by the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco\, the Scientific Centre of Monaco\, and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. As coral reefs face unprecedented threats from climate change and ocean acidification\, the WCC seeks to safeguard coral biodiversity by establishing a worldwide network of aquariums committed to conservation\, research\, and restoration efforts. \nThis side event at COP16 will delve into how the WCC is tackling the urgent need for coral conservation by creating a living ‘reservoir’ of coral species\, advancing scientific research on coral resilience\, and promoting education and public awareness. A key highlight will be insights from a partner aquarium\, showcasing the collaborative efforts and practical experiences in coral conservation. \nAttendees will gain an understanding of the WCC’s innovative approach\, which integrates science\, conservation\, and global partnerships to ensure the long-term survival of coral reefs. The event will emphasize the importance of empowering communities—both local and global—in the collective fight against coral degradation. \nJoin us to explore how this pioneering initiative is making a significant impact on the global movement for ocean conservation\, and learn how you can contribute to preserving the future of coral reefs. \nLead Organisation: Monaco Oceanographic Institute \nCo-organisation(s): Scientific Centre of Monaco\, Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation \n  \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT SUMMARY (.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: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)
