Konservasi Indonesia proudly participated in The 5th Global Dialogue from the Global Ocean Accounts Partnership in Bali! 🌏🌊 This crucial event focused on accelerating the shift towards a sustainable ocean economy. Key discussions included developing accounting systems to reveal the ocean's multiple values, implementing Sustainable Ocean Plans, Marine Spatial Planning, Marine Protected Areas, ocean-based climate action, and sustainable finance. Together, we're paving the way for a healthier, more sustainable future for our oceans. 🌐💙

How do Ocean Accounts leverage Marine Protected Area (#MPA) management and progress national targets? 🤔 In the side event we hosted at the #GlobalDialogue on Sustainable Ocean Development, governments and experts came together to discuss future ocean accounts implementation in #Indonesia and the #Maldives!✨ 💡 #OceanAccounts have been piloted in Indonesia and the Maldives, which significantly enhanced our understanding of how natural assets contribute to regional economies and environments. 💡 The ocean accounts framework is currently being expanded to include cost-benefit analysis for Indonesia's MPA Vision #30x45 under the #GBF and furthering MPA management in the Maldives through the #ENDhERI project. The panel was moderated by Prayekti Ningtias (Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara), featuring in-depth discussions on: 🇮🇩 The Past and Future of MPA Management in Indonesia, presented by Firdaus Agung (Director of Marine Biodiversity and Conservation - Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries - Republic of Indonesia) 🇲🇻 Natural Capital Accounting for MPA Management in Maldives, presented by Hassaan Mohamed (Deputy Minister - Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy, Maldives) 🇮🇩 Cost-Benefit Analysis for Indonesia MPA Vision 30 x 45, presented by Victor Nikijuluw (Senior Program Advisor - Konservasi Indonesia) 🇮🇩 Experience developing ocean accounts for MPA management in Indonesia, presented by Annisya Rosdiana (Ocean Accounts Project Leader - Rekam Nusantara Foundation) It was a blast to have you there!

An oldie but a goodie - debt for nature swaps. "Swop" in British English, "swap" for our American friends. A swap is a swop! This time, we are protecting coral reefs in one of the most biodiversity-rich places on Earth. Congrats to colleagues at Konservasi Indonesia and Conservation International for being a part of this milestone! #PeopleNeedNature https://lnkd.in/gZJzvmuG

📣 In the face of increasing threats to coral ecosystems, the Global Fund for Coral Reefs Executive Board announces more than $25 Million USD funding to increase protection of Earth’s most resilient coral reefs - climate refugia. 🇪🇬 New blended finance programme for Egypt’s Red Sea With a major funding commitment from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), in partnership with the Government of Egypt and UNDP, the Egyptian Red Sea Initiative aims to establish a landmark Egyptian Fund for Coral Reefs to leverage up to $50 million USD in private and public funding to help protect one of the most resilient reef ecosystems in the world. 🇮🇩 In Indonesia led by Konservasi Indonesia, in the heart of the Coral Triangle, the additional catalytic funding will help ensure sustainable long-term effective Marine Protected Area (MPA) management and reef-positive enterprises with emphasis on supporting local women. The uplift seeks to support at least 10 additional ventures including seaweed hatcheries, ecotourism, and sustainable aquaculture. 🇵🇭 In the Philippines, hosting the third-largest coral reef area in the world, funding will support Blue Alliance Philippines to scale implementation covering more than 100 MPAs hosting 80k HAs of coral refugia, aiming to increase the resilience of over 2m coastal community members. The funding uplift will expand reef-positive business solutions in ecotourism, community-based aquaculture, and sustainable fisheries. 🇭🇳 🇬🇹 🇲🇽 🇧🇿 In the Mesoamerican Region (MAR), the MAR+Invest programme, led by MAR Fund, received support for its second phase of scaling a regional portfolio of market-based solutions that address local drivers of ecosystem degradation and contribute to reef and community resilience, spanning Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Belize. 🇹🇿 In Pemba Island, Zanzibar, new funding support was included for a Blue Alliance-led initiative aiming to support at least 7 reef-positive enterprises contribute to the sustainable finance and management of 27k MPA hectares. “Without collective action at pace and scale, scientists estimate that 90% of remaining coral reefs may be lost by 2050, with dire consequences for the communities and economies they support. To face this crisis, the GFCR Coalition has established a robust portfolio of innovative, market-based solutions spanning 23 nations to protect critical coral reef refugia – Earth’s most resilient reef ecosystems.” said Peter Bryant, Program Director, Oceans, Builders Initiative and GFCR Executive Board Member. “The new GFCR announcements, representing an increase of more than $25 million USD for resilience-based efforts, will aid the sustainable blue transition of local economies and unlock greater conservation funding flows for generations to come.” Read more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eTbc_kCd
