Commonwealth nations pledge US$202.2 million to protect 30% of land and ocean by 2030

At their summit in Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth countries launched the Commonwealth Nature Initiative with US$202.2 million pledged toward the global goal of protecting 30% of land and oceans by 2030. Mozambique committed to restore 500,000 hectares of degraded land. The initiative pools money and expertise so smaller nations, including island states on the front line of rising seas, can protect forests, reefs and coastlines they could not fund alone.
