With World Environment Day (5 June) and World Oceans Day (8 June) approaching, the Nairobi Convention Secretariat is excited to share updates on how countries and stakeholders are working to protect, conserve, and manage the Western Indian Ocean region.
Coastal cities are gateways of trade and transport of countries in the WIO region and sites of key economic activity and infrastructure including ports, airports, hotels and fish markets, as well as providing the workforce that supports key blue economy sectors.
The Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association and UN Habitat, in partnership with the Nairobi Convention launched a portfolio of 6 reports on 15 December 2021. The reports focus on strategic and operational opportunities for city and Blue economy stakeholders.
