Background:
Coral reefs are the Rain Forests of the Ocean, supporting one in every four marine species, the livelihoods of 1 billion people, and offering coastal protection. They are currently at grave risk!
75-90% are predicted to be lost under climate change by 2050 even if we meet our most ambitious climate goals.
Programme: May 10-12, 2023
The aims of the workshop are to identify gaps in the field of deep-sea coral reef restoration and conservation, and create a roadmap for funding to fill those gaps. The team will output a ranked list of priorities for CORDAP funding calls over time i.e., give recommendations on priority funding topics and the direction of this funding.
