Africa has made history.
The first-ever Our Ocean Conference hosted on African soil concluded in Mombasa, Kenya, with 320 commitments worth $6.4 Billion announced to advance ocean conservation, sustainable fisheries, marine protection, climate resilience, & the blue economy.
The report argues that lasting ocean conservation depends on investing in local communities, institutions, technical expertise, and sustainable financing to turn global commitments into real action.
As the world pursues the #30x30 target, the message is now clear

At #SB64 in Bonn, one message from young climate leaders was clear: climate conferences are about more than negotiations, they're about people.
From climate finance to adaptation and loss and damage, meaningful progress depends how those conversations reach the public.
The Bonn climate talks are underway with a clear message: stop reopening past debates and start delivering. For Africa, this means real progress on adaptation finance, simpler reporting, and just transition mechanisms. The world is watching.
