Event host: Ocean Purpose Project
We’re thrilled to announce that Mathilda Dsilva, CEO of Ocean Purpose Project (OPP), will be featured as a “Living Books” in the SDG Story Exchange at the Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development (APFSD12)!
Mathilda’s leadership at OPP has placed the organization at the forefront of ocean conservation and blue economy solutions across Southeast Asia, making a direct impact on SDG 14: Life Below Water. With 9 out of 10 ASEAN/ Association of Southeast Asian Nations (The ASEAN Secretariat) countries touching the sea, Southeast Asia is on the front lines of the world’s shared maritime challenges,
Why OPP Matters to Thailand & Southeast Asia:
Sustainable Solutions for Coastal Communities: OPP’s work with seaweed bioremediation supports the health of coastal ecosystems, critical for countries like Thailand, where marine biodiversity and fisheries play an essential role in the economy.
Blue Carbon Solutions: By harnessing blue carbon solutions such as seaweed-based carbon sequestration, OPP is contributing to climate mitigation efforts across Southeast Asia, supporting the region’s fight against climate change,
Innovative Plastic Waste Solutions: OPP’s Plastic to Fuel initiative offers a scalable solution to combat ocean plastic pollution, helping countries like Thailand reduce their plastic footprint and transition to a circular economy.
Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired by her journey of environmental entrepreneurship and ocean advocacy at the UN Bangkok Office.
