SOMACORE focuses on scaling solutions that promote effective governance, equitable conservation, and sustainable management of coastal and marine biodiversity while sharing lessons learned from the Coral Triangle with global platforms. In the Lesser Sunda Seascape, cooperation between Indonesia and Timor-Leste is advancing equitable conservation across one of the Coral Triangle’s key marine corridors. The meeting also formally recognized the Coral Triangle Expert Assessment Group for the IUCN Green List (EAGL) as the regional mechanism to assess conservation effectiveness. IUCN’s leadership in 2026 is expected to focus on the Green List, OECMs, PANORAMA Solutions, CTMPAS, CT Atlas, and sustainable financing, raising the global visibility of the Coral Triangle. By supporting area-based conservation, community-led management, and policy coherence, SOMACORE contributes to the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework Target 3 and broader global ocean and climate agendas.
