#ForCoral Pavilion
21 October – 01 November2024
Sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity
The #ForCoral Pavilion stands as a critical platform for one of the world’s most threatened, yet valuable, ecosystems at the occasion of the UN Biodiversity Conference CBD COP16. It highlights the urgent need for coral reef conservation, fostering global collaboration and innovation to protect these vital marine ecosystems. As a beacon for collective action, the Pavilion aims to drive solutions that ensure the survival and resilience of coral reefs, emphasising their importance in the broader context of the Biodiversity Plan.
The #Forcoral Pavilion aligns with global biodiversity goals, promoting cross-sector collaboration to raise awareness of coral reef threats, advocate for stronger conservation policies, and emphasise the critical importance of coral reefs for biodiversity, costal protection and livelihoods. This will be done though:
- High-level events including panel discussions and interactive sessions
- Quick Fire Talks
- Launch of new initiatives and projects; and
- Networking Opportunities where participants will have the chance to connect with the coral reef community fostering new collaborations and partnerships.
