Article summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has announced UK's membership of the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance (ORRAA). The ORRAA aims to use global investment of US$500m for the development of nature-based solutions to climate change by enhancing marine and coastal ecosystems. The UK has become the second G7 country, after Canada, to join the ORRAA, and its co-chair, Chip Cunliffe, stated: 'Working more closely with the UK as it becomes a full member of ORRAA is hugely important – especially given the UK’s current global leadership through the G7 and COP26 presidencies...Having the UK actively involved will help boost our multi-sector collaboration of governments, the finance and insurance sectors, NGOs and civil society - all working together to accelerate action, innovation and capital to secure positive outcomes for the Ocean.'
