4th Blue Economy Climate Resilience Forum

4th Blue Economy Climate Resilience Forum

Our Executive Director, Dr. Leandra Cho-Ricketts, had the opportunity to participate in a panel at the 4th Blue Economy Climate Resilience Forum, hosted by the Ministry of Blue Economy and Marine Conservation under the theme "Strengthening Fisheries, Creating Opportunities, Building Resilience." Her panel covered investment in Belize's Blue Economy, discussing how sustainable financing is strengthening Belize's coastal and marine sectors.

During the discussion, Dr. Leandra highlighted the Belize Fund’s role in managing conservation financing established through the Blue Bond agreement, our commitment to supporting impactful projects, and our long-term vision of ensuring that funding reaches the communities, organizations, and partners working every day to conserve Belize’s marine resources while building resilient livelihoods.

By investing in people, partnerships, and nature, we are helping create a thriving blue economy that benefits both present and future generations.
