We’re committed to our goal of activating at least USD$500 million of investment into coastal and ocean nature-based solutions by 2030, to help build the resilience of at least 250 million climate vulnerable coastal people. Our collaboration with Investable Oceans to develop The Octopus Desk and the support we will receive from Salesforce around responsible AI use, data strategy and technical architecture, combined with their project funding, will help us make strides towards achieving this ambitious goal.”
