Pacific Ocean - 10 flagship projets for the ocean

In June 2025, the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3) brings the international community together with one goal in mind: to protect the oceans and their resources to strengthen the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14 on marine environment. In other words: to reconcile conservation and sustainable use. The participation of the Pacific islands, the Blue Continent, is a keystone: it is the largest ocean on the planet and the islands that dot it consider themselves its guardians. Through 10 projects, some very humble, others much larger, AFD highlights the wide range of sectors covered in the Pacific Ocean: maritime transport; fisheries; marine biodiversity and protected areas; coastal zone management and adaptation; and marine pollution (sanitation and waste).
