Island Innovation glad to participate in the Reception for the Sustainable Ocean Initiative

Island Innovation was glad to participate in the reception for the Sustainable Ocean Initiative at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon.

​​The Sustainable Ocean Initiative (SOI), coordinated by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, was formed in the margins of CBD COP 10 to bring together various sources of support and provide holistic capacity-building to support countries in their efforts to achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets in marine and coastal areas. SOI builds on the resources and experiences resulting from global efforts to conserve and sustainably manage ocean resources by providing a holistic, action-oriented, and strategic framework through which to catalyze partnerships, build on lessons learned and knowledge gained, and facilitate improved coordination and two-way dialogue.
