Jeremy Raguain, a marine conservation advocate from Seychelles, works at the International Union for Conservation of Nature focusing on the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction agreement. After graduating in 2024 from Columbia's Environmental Science and Policy program, Raguain emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable solutions at events like the COP16 conference, where he observed a shift in funding dynamics. Traditional financial resources for biodiversity are decreasing, highlighting a pressing need for integrative approaches, like conserving mangroves to align with climate and biodiversity goals.
"Funding sources for biodiversity protection are shrinking. There's a need for 'win-win' solutions that drive progress in the ocean-climate-biodiversity nexus."
"Mangrove conservation can simultaneously contribute to national commitments under the Paris Agreement and biodiversity strategies, demonstrating the interconnectedness of environmental goals."
