Indian Ocean Coastal Regeneration Initiative
Over one billion people living along the Indian Ocean coast are on the frontlines of climate change. The rapidly evolving impacts are threatening lives and livelihoods, and deepening poverty and food insecurity. Poverty in turn fuels overuse of coastal natural resources as a means of survival; conservation efforts cannot be sustained without addressing the pressing needs of coastal communities and supporting them as stewards of these vital habitats.
The Indian Ocean Coastal Regeneration Initiative () aims to raise US$500 million to strengthen the livelihoods of millions of coastal residents and protect and restore 100,000 hectares of coastal ecosystems upon which they rely. IOCRI will support the scaling of livelihoods, energy and conservation approaches that enable communities and nature to mutually thrive and support one another, thereby contributing to the Global Biodiversity Framework commitment to restore 30% of all degraded ecosystems by 2030.
Locations: India, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique Pakistan, Tanzania.
