Notably, during this Congress, the coastal ecosystem-related resolution “Motion 036: Facilitating Synergistic Delivery of Multilateral Commitments on Conserving Coastal Ecosystems” will be adopted, further aligning with multilateral environmental agreements and addressing the gap between terrestrial and marine conservation.
