Raising public awareness of climate issues

Did you know that the GoodPlanet Foundation supports the "Coalition citoyenne pour la protection de l'océan" launched on March 26, 2024 by the Bloom association?

This coalition, bringing together numerous associations and committed personalities, is a vibrant appeal in favor of protecting the seas and oceans.
This coalition is particularly important, especially since the Presidency of the Republic officially launched the Year of the Sea on September 21, 2024, the city of Nice will host the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference in June 2025.  

The GoodPlanet Foundation takes action on the groundvia projects for RESERVATION & RESTORATION OF MARINE ECOSYSTEMS & COASTAL(currently in Madagascar, Indonesia and Senegal).


FOCUS ON THE PROJECT:
 
"Local governance of a protected area in Sainte-Marie" (SDGs addressed: 2, 10, 12, 13, 14 & 15)

Madagascar is one of the world's poorest countries, and the island of Sainte-Marie is particularly hard hit. In 30 years, over 25% of the island's forests have been destroyed/degraded, while fishery resources are also experiencing a major decline, even though they are essential to the island's 30,000 inhabitants to ensure their food security.
This project to create a protected area aims to preserve Sainte-Marie's remarkable biodiversity, through local governance of resources and territory,and the direct protection of 182 ha of mangroves and 800 ha of coastal forest, while improving the socio-economic resilience of the most vulnerable communities.

For many years, the GoodPlanet Foundation has pursued a very inclusive policy in terms of accessibility to its programs. The aim: to educate all audiences about sustainable development issues, with a stronger focus each year on young people with the least access to such education (priority neighborhoods, REP, REP+, disabilities...).

In September 2024, new programs are therefore being launched with local authorities and associations in the social field to strengthen the GoodPlanet Foundation's actions with these vulnerable audiences, who are particularly impacted by topics related to the "sustainable world".

For a holistic approach, programs systematically address identified themes (biodiversity, sustainable agriculture and food, zero waste, energy, world cultures, water and oceans) while highlighting intrinsically linked themes: solidarity, education, gender, etc. A necessary approach for understanding the interdependence between subjects and levers for action.

The Foundation aims to educate 6,000 people a year, from social structures and REP/REP+ schools, by 2026. A challenge it hopes to meet - thanks in no small part to you!  :)
