      Arabia Saudita asume el liderazgo de la conservación mundial de los arrecifes de coral con la inauguración de la Secretaría del ICRI

      Impulsando la acción global para proteger los arrecifes de coral con financiación innovadora, monitoreo de IA y colaboración

      JEDDAH, Arabia Saudita, 10 de enero de 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arabia Saudita ha asumido oficialmente la Secretaría de la Iniciativa Internacional sobre Arrecifes de Coral (ICRI) para su decimocuarto mandato, lo que marca un hito importante en la conservación mundial de los arrecifes de coral. La ICRI representa a 102 miembros, incluidos 45 países que son custodios del 75% de los arrecifes de coral del mundo.

      El liderazgo del reino para este período de tres años fue confirmado por los miembros del ICRI durante la 38ª Asamblea General en septiembre de 2024, en sustitución de los Estados Unidos. Arabia Saudita liderará este papel histórico a través de la Organización General para la Conservación de los Arrecifes de Coral y las Tortugas en el mar Rojo (SHAMS). La ceremonia virtual de entrega de poderes contó con la presencia de distinguidos asistentes, entre ellos el embajador Peter Thomson, enviado especial del Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas para los Océanos, junto con representantes de la UICN, el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente, la NOAA, el Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos y otras entidades distinguidas.

      Los arrecifes de coral, que sustentan el 25% de la biodiversidad marina del mundo, aportan un estimado de 9.900 millones de dólares anuales en bienes y servicios, lo que pone de relieve su inmenso valor ecológico y económico.

      Los miembros del ICRI están trabajando bajo el liderazgo de Arabia Saudita para desarrollar el Plan de Acción 2025-2027. El plan apunta a ampliar la membresía para incluir al 90% de los arrecifes de coral del mundo, integrar la gestión resiliente de los arrecifes en las políticas globales y mejorar las estrategias nacionales de biodiversidad. Las prioridades clave incluyen impulsar la economía azul, avanzar en el monitoreo de los arrecifes con tecnologías innovadoras y utilizar los conocimientos del próximo informe "Estado de los arrecifes de coral del mundo: 2025". Otras iniciativas notables incluyen el lanzamiento de la Estrategia para la Juventud del ICRI, el fortalecimiento de la colaboración en las regiones del mar Rojo, Asia Meridional y África Oriental, y la sensibilización mundial a través de eventos importantes como la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Océanos.

      Este hito subraya el compromiso de Arabia Saudita con la gestión ambiental, en consonancia con los ambiciosos objetivos de sostenibilidad y la estrategia de diversificación económica de Visión 2030. También complementa la Estrategia Nacional para la Sostenibilidad del mar Rojo, lanzada recientemente y anunciada por Su Alteza Real el Príncipe Heredero Mohammed Bin Salman, que refuerza la dedicación del reino a la conservación de los ecosistemas marinos únicos del mar Rojo y a la creación de una economía azul sostenible.

      El doctor Khaled Asfahani, consejero delegado de SHAMS y presidente del ICRI, destacó la importancia de este papel: "El papel de Arabia Saudita como Secretaría del ICRI subraya nuestro compromiso inquebrantable con un futuro sostenible para los arrecifes de coral en todo el mundo. Estamos profundamente agradecidos a los miembros del ICRI por su confianza y reconocimiento al elegir a Arabia Saudita para liderar esta importante iniciativa global. A través de este liderazgo, aspiramos a establecer nuevos puntos de referencia en la conservación de los arrecifes de coral, aprovechando la ciencia, la innovación y la colaboración para impulsar iniciativas tanto nacionales como internacionales. Nuestro objetivo es proteger estos ecosistemas vitales, asegurando su resiliencia para las generaciones futuras y manteniendo al mismo tiempo sus inestimables contribuciones a la economía global".

      Acerca de SHAMS 

      La Organización General para la Conservación de los Arrecifes de Coral y las Tortugas en el Mar Rojo (SHAMS) es el organismo gubernamental encargado de regular, supervisar y garantizar la gestión sostenible de los excepcionales arrecifes de coral y ecosistemas de tortugas marinas de Arabia Saudita, uno de los más resistentes del mundo, en el mar Rojo.
