A new article by Dr. Susan Gardner, Director of the Ecosystems Division at the UN Environment Programme (@UNEP), emphasizes the urgent need for a reef-positive economic transition, advocating for sustainable practices that align economic development with coral conservation. It highlights initiatives like the Global Fund for Coral Reefs which mobilizes investments to protect and restore these vital ecosystems, underscoring the critical role of international cooperation and innovative financing in ensuring the resilience of coral reefs against escalating climate change impacts. 🔗 Read the full article here: openaccessgovernment.org/the-worlds-lar… #ForCoral #GFCR #CoralReefs #ImpactInvestment #BlueEconomy #Conservation
