Best practices for the protection of marine ecosystems, resilient coastal community livelihoods and enhancing economic resilience
At COP30 Brazil, ORRAA and BNP Paribas launched a new white paper.
Marine ecosystems are vital to the planet’s health and to the livelihoods of millions who depend on fisheries, tourism, and coastal resources. Yet, coastal and ocean habitats face increasing threats from climate change, overexploitation, pollution and weak governance.
This whitepaper outlines global best practices to enable the protection of marine ecosystems and enhance economic resilience while ensuring the economic and social well-being of vulnerable coastal communities, positioning Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) as a pathway to long-term resilience and shared prosperity — a balance at the heart of the regenerative and sustainable blue economy.
