Coral Reef Rescue - Building Climate Change Resilient Reefs and Communities

This is an ambitious initiative focused on coral reefs (and linked systems) that seeks to create mechanisms and mobilize resources to conserve low vulnerability reefs that have potential to re-seed to other regions once the climate has stabilized. The initiative will also connect vulnerable reefs with resilient reefs through an ambitious adaptation plan. In particular, the initiative will be supporting the handful of developing countries where the most climate-resilient reefs are found, and especially the communities on the frontline. The partnership will apply this approach to building reef productivity and resiliency around the world with a target of safeguarding the food security and livelihoods of over 120 million reef-dependent people over the next decade.
