Prince Albert at the 5th International Our Ocean Conference 

HSH the Sovereign Prince participated in the 5th ‘Our Ocean’ conference in Bali, accompanied by a Monegasque delegation.

At the opening of a session dedicated to climate change, HSH the Sovereign Prince recalled the importance of this conference, initiated in 2014 by John Kerry, which helps to build the foundation of a new relationship between humans and the oceans by promoting a dialogue between decision makers from different horizons. The past year, marked by many devastating weather events, recalled the urgency to act and the challenge of preserving the ocean in the fight against climate change.

Along with its partners Surfrider Europe Foundation, the Tara Expeditions Foundation, the MAVA Foundation and IUCN, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation announced, during the plenary session dedicated to marine pollution, their intention to invest 500,000 euros in the development of the Beyond Plastic Med initiative in 2019, supporting concrete projects to reduce plastic pollution in the Mediterranean.
