Our Executive Director, Dr. Leandra Cho-Ricketts, recently attended the high-level “Immersed in Change” event in Costa Rica on June 7-8.
At the event, Dr. Ricketts connected with other conservation trust funds and donor agencies, sharing the work of the Belize Fund, through our investments in marine conservation and the development of a sustainable blue economy in Belize.
Our work showcases how Belize is taking action to address ocean impacts and turn the tide on ocean conservation through innovative financing instruments.
The Blue Bond & Finance Permanence (BBFP) Unit participated in a panel on “The Blue Economy as an Engine for Prosperity”, highlighting how funds from the Belize Blue Bonds are being invested through the Belize Fund.
The Immersed in Change event underscores the urgency of addressing ocean challenges. It symbolizes the depth of our oceans and the critical need for action to preserve them. The conference inspires collective action to protect our vital ocean ecosystems, threatened by climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
The ocean is vital for life on Earth, but it’s in danger! It’s time to act!
Let’s protect our ocean now! Our future depends on it. Join the movement and dive into change!
