Eleven Nations Sign Historic Pledge to Safeguard Climate-Resilient Reefs
The commitment was launched during a high-level event co-hosted by Papua New Guinea, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and The Nature Conservancy (TNC). It represents a milestone in international marine conservation, aligning with global biodiversity goals set for 2030.
The voluntary pledge targets climate-resilient coral reefs—those naturally better equipped to withstand rising temperatures and ocean changes. These reefs are seen as vital to future restoration efforts and sustainable livelihoods, particularly for coastal populations.
