Prince Albert II Foundation: Monaco's Green Revolution

Monaco, the most densely-populated sovereign state in the
world, smaller than New York's Central Park, has emerged as
a powerful advocate for ocean and marine
life conservation.


Prince Albert, Head of State and president of his
foundation, played a significant role in shaping SDG 14, the
United Nations sustainable development goal entirely
dedicated to the Ocean. He also spearheaded a campaign to
ban global fishing of the endangered Atlantic Blue Fin
Tuna. „When the world turned a blind eye, he rallied the
local community to take action“, reveals Olivier
Wenden, CEO and Vice President of the Prince Albert II of
Monaco Foundation. As a result, every restaurant and retailer
in principality removed this precious species from
their shelves and menus.



"We are doers, we are collaborative activists.“


Their commitment to environmental stewardship and collaborative
activism is showcased through 750 projects dedicated to
biodiversity, climate, the ocean, and water resources. 


As Monaco celebrates its first Green Shift Festival,
transforming the principality into a hub of ecological
discussions, we delve into the festival, the foundation's
numerous initiatives, Monaco's role in safeguarding the planet's
health, and the path to creating a better future. A wonderful
optimistic conversation.
