Monaco⁠, the most densely-populated sovereign state in the
world, smaller than New York's Central Park, has emerged as a
powerful advocate for ocean and marine life conservation.
Prince Albert, Head of State and president of his
foundation, played a significant role in shaping ⁠SDG 14⁠, the
United Nations sustainable development goal entirely dedicated
to the Ocean. He also spearheaded a campaign to ban global
fishing of the endangered Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna. „When the
world turned a blind eye, he rallied the local community to take
action“, reveals ⁠Olivier Wenden, CEO and Vice President⁠
of the ⁠Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation⁠. As a result,
every restaurant and retailer in principality removed
this precious species from their shelves and menus. "We are doers,
we are collaborative activists.“ Their commitment to environmental
stewardship and collaborative activism is showcased through 750
projects dedicated to biodiversity, climate, the ocean, and water
resources. As Monaco celebrates its⁠ first Green Shift
Festival⁠, transforming the principality into a hub of ecological
discussions, we delve into the festival, the foundation's numerous
initiatives, Monaco's role in safeguarding the planet's health, and
the path to creating a better future. A wonderful optimistic
conversation.
