On Wednesday, key Philippine government officials and local and foreign experts on biodiversity gathered together for the first of a series of biodiversity conferences or Blue Talks between Manila and Paris. The conference, organized by the Stratbase ADR Institute in partnership with the Embassy of France in the Philippines, aims to strengthen cooperation between the Philippines and France on biodiversity conservation.
“It was very important to start this cycle of five conferences with a discussion on biodiversity, because this subject will be at the core center of the next UNOC in France… Discussions on marine biodiversity and biodiversity conservation is also very important because the Philippines, an archipelagic state made up of more than 7,100 islands, maintains an existential link with the ocean,” Fontanel said.
Fontanel said the second Blue Talk conference will take place on November 21 and will explore the possibility of having a maritime dialogue between France and Philippines. “The development of a blue economy is a crucial step towards sustainable growth, and today’s collaboration with the Embassy of France offers a valuable opportunity to strengthen partnerships with like-minded nations. France, a staunch advocate for ocean and marine biodiversity protection, serves as a key ally in this endeavor,” Manhit said.
