The world has committed to protecting 30% of the oceans by 2030 through the adoption of the new High Seas Treaty. Achieving the 3Oх30 target of the GBF (Global Biodiversity Framework) will require a tripling of marine areas under some degree of protection in just six years.

According to UNEP, conserving and protecting 30% of the oceans has a financial cost of US$9-12 billion per year, 9-10 times the current expenditure on marine protected areas worldwide.

In this context, environmental philanthropy plays a catalytic role not only in financial terms, but also in reaching national and international climate and environmental agreements to accelerate the achievement of ocean and terrestrial conservation goals.

However, our society has not been able to move towards sufficient levels of collaboration and cross-sectoral work.

In this sense, science becomes a central element in offering the possibility of aligning different governments around common and consensual solutions based on scientific evidence.
