“Our goal of achieving
sustainable economic
development in Coastal
East Africa came closer this
year when Mozambique
announced a national ‘green
economy roadmap’ toward
2030. We worked closely
with government ministries
and other partners to help
develop the roadmap, which
outlines Mozambique’s
bold plans for eradicating
poverty by using its rich
natural resources wisely
and sustainably. A first
step forward came in
November when the country
approved Africa’s second
largest marine protected
area around the Primeiras
and Segundas archipelago
– something we’ve been
working toward for
eight years.”

MexiCo CliMate law
“In April, Mexico passed a
ground-breaking climate law,
becoming only the second
country (after the UK) to
make a legal commitment
to cutting carbon emissions.
The country will halve its
emissions by 2050, by which
time it’s expected to be the
world’s fifth largest economy.
If Mexico can commit to
growing a green economy
while slashing its carbon
emissions, why can’t other
countries – like its North
American neighbours, the
USA and Canada? By working
with climate leaders like
Mexico, we’re aiming to
inspire the global changes
needed to build a fair and
sustainable low-carbon
future.”

“The waters of the Coral
Triangle are home to the
richest marine life and
some of the most important
fisheries on the planet. But
illegal fishing is plundering
these resources, putting
millions of livelihoods at
risk. The second Coral
Triangle Fishers Forum,
which we hosted this year in
Fiji, brought together more
than 100 fishing industry
participants from 24
countries to look at practical
ways of tackling the problem
– for example, improving
catch documentation and
making it easier to trace the
source of all seafood.”
“We’ve developed a powerful
new weapon in the battle
against illegal, unregulated
and unreported fishing –
which accounts for around
one-fifth of global fish
catches, and is a major cause
of the overfishing crisis. By
analysing widely available
satellite data used to help
prevent collisions at sea,
we have a much clearer
understanding of formerly
invisible fishing vessel
movements. For example, we
could show if illegal fishing
may be taking place in
marine protected areas. This
tool has huge potential, and
we’ll be pushing hard to see it
used effectively.”
