Coral reefs are threatened by ocean warming and acidification, which is only growing in severity. The 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List shows that 33% of reef coral species are now facing extinction. This partnership attempts to address that decline, using the GFCR experience in finance, its strengths in project discovery and development, and 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 deep understanding of conservation and Nature-based Solutions. The 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Global Standard for NbS, and multiple ongoing projects such as those in the Blue Natural Capital Financing Facility, show that this can work.鈥澨

  • Pursuing local entrepreneur and project developers for coral reef restoration on the ground, using the strong GFCR network of partners and existing project portfolio;
  • Drawing on 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 vast network of members to engage in reef-restoration related activities, including most of the world鈥檚 national governments;听
  • Utilizing 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 expertise in implementing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to reef conservation problems;

The GFCR

Launched in September 2020, the GFCR is the first UN fund dedicated to SDG14 (Life Below Water) and the only global blended finance instrument devoted to coral reefs.

The Fund is driven by a coalition of private philanthropies, Member States, UN agencies, and impact investors with the aim to mobilize $625 million for coral reefs over the next 10 years.

The GFCR leverages grant funding to unlock reef-positive private sector investment in blue economy interventions that address drivers of reef degradation and facilitate blue recovery for local communities.
