From Planning to Action: Advancing Ocean Governance and Sustainable Finance for Implementation
Regional collaboration and national ocean planning are proving essential to advancing marine conservation, mobilizing finance, and delivering ambitious global goals such as protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030.
This event will bring together governments from Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor (CMAR) countries, financial institutions, and technical partners to discuss how ocean commitments are being advanced through both coordinated regional action in the Eastern Tropical Pacific and strengthened national planning processes.
The session will highlight progress under the CMAR 10-Year Action Plan, including the role of shared tools such as the Monitoring Dashboard to track implementation, as well as emerging approaches to sustainable finance. It will also draw on national-level efforts, including Sustainable Ocean Plans, as a key framework enabling countries to align governance, investment, and implementation pathways.
Overall, the discussion will showcase how regional collaboration and national processes are converging to scale marine conservation and deliver on global targets such as 30×30.
