🌴At the 3𝘳𝘥 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘖𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 (𝘕𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘦 2025), a new initiative was launched to mobilize innovative financial pathways for biodiversity conservation and environmental sustainability in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) across Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific.

🔍 SIDS are not just stunning destinations – they provide essential ecosystem services: protecting coastlines, storing carbon, filtering freshwater, and supporting livelihoods. But climate change is placing these ecosystems under serious threat.

💡The initiative is backed by the EU-funded Support Programme for SIDS (SPS) and three regional partners:
🌏 𝘽𝙞𝙤𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙚 – Africa Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund: €1.6 million awarded for ecosystem restoration in 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳, 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘴, 𝘔𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘶𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘦𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘴
🏝️𝘽𝙞𝙤𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙚 – Caribbean Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States: focused on leveraging financing to restore mangroves and coral reefs impacted by sargassum
🌊𝘽𝙞𝙤𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙨 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙚 – Pacific Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme - SPREP: supporting marine spatial planning and innovative awareness campaigns, including educational comics

📣“SIDS are among the most affected by climate change, but they are also powerful stewards of ocean spaces” said Dieudonné Nsadisa Faka OACPS Secretariat - Secrétariat OEACP, highlighting the need for timely and tailored financial instruments to empower their leadership.
