Positive Initiatives - An Interactive Map

We live in a world of constant change. Over the next 50 years, climate change is expected to have a profound impact on humanity, affecting global health, infrastructure, and economies. Rising temperatures, more frequent and intense extreme weather events, and sea-level rise will exacerbate existing challenges and create new ones. However, there is hope as nations around the world contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to climate action and ocean conservation. They are taking various actions, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting marine areas, and investing in sustainable technologies. The map below highlights locations where communities are implementing solutions for the preservation and restoration of coastal and ocean ecosystems. These initiatives ensure the sustainability of coastal fisheries, offset the loss of fishery income through eco-tourism, and enhance ecosystem resilience. The hope is that these stories may serve as examples of what can be done and inspire you to get involved in your local community.
