Backed by 27 foundations, the 2024 Rio Action Statement lays out a bold roadmap for philanthropy to drive resource mobilization, outreach, advocacy, and partnerships in support of Ocean Decade initiatives ahead of the 2025 UN Ocean Conference.
The joint Statement was developed during the Fourth Ocean Decade Foundations Dialogue Meeting, held this year from 3 to 5 أيلول/سبتمبر 2024 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The meeting was hosted by the Boticário Group Foundation, a long-standing member of the Ocean Decade Foundations Dialogue, and co-organized with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) in its role as coordinating agency of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 (‘Ocean Decade’).
