We’re in Belém, Brazil, at #COP30 to anchor our ocean in climate change solutions.
Our ocean is bearing the brunt of the changing climate and has been for decades, but it’s ALSO the home of climate solutions. Take action with us: https://bit.ly/4r9D2aH

I’m very proud that I can now put Chart.PR next to my name! For anyone thinking about whether or not to get chartered, I can thoroughly recommend the experience. I learned a lot and had fun while doing it too.
Congratulations to the 16 members who passed their Chartership assessment last week, including the first two practitioners from Zimbabwe to get Chartered:
