Joining Forces to Reverse Global Degradation




The World Summit on Sustainable Development called for international partnerships and cooperation in tackling urgent global environmental challenges. Nowhere is that need greater than in reversing the worldwide decline of coral reefs.

The UNEP Coral Reef Unit (CRU), the secretariat of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI), the coordinating unit of the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN) and the UNEP-WCMC Marine and Coastal Programme have now come together in the UNEP-WCMC headquarters in Cambridge, UK, creating a critical mass of resources and initiatives to address coral reef issues around the world more comprehensively.

Each partner has its own distinct, yet complementary, objectives that cover a range of coral reef stakeholders and issues, including policy and scientific assessment, management and capacity building, conservation and outreach.
