The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and Conservation International (CI) have signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen collaboration on nature conservation, climate resilience, sustainable development, conservation finance, and community-led solutions across the Pacific.
The agreement, signed during the 55th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting in Palau, brings together SPREPโs regional mandate and convening role across 26 Pacific Island countries and territories with Conservation Internationalโs global expertise in biodiversity conservation, science, sustainable finance, and locally led conservation approaches.
Together, the two organisations will work to support Pacific-led solutions to some of the regionโs most urgent environmental challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, and increasing pressures on marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
The MOU was signed by SPREP Director General, Mr Sefanaia Nawadra, and Dr. Sebastian Troรซng, the Chief Executive Officer of Conservation International.
โThe Pacificโs future depends on protecting the natural systems that sustain our communities, cultures and economies,โ said Mr. Sefanaia Nawadra.
โSPREP is responsible with supporting our members to protect and manage their environment and natural resources. This partnership with Conservation International strengthens our collective ability to support Pacific countries and communities in achieving their environmental priorities through science, innovation, partnerships and locally driven action.โ
