The Belize Fund, the Ministry of Economic Development, and the Climate Finance Unit

Our Executive Director, Dr. Leandra Cho-Ricketts, recently met with Carlos Pol, CEO of the Ministry of Economic Development (MED), and Leroy Martinez, Director of the Climate Finance Unit, to explore opportunities for collaboration.

As a private conservation trust fund, the Belize Fund provides sustainable financing to support both government and non-government partners in marine conservation, scientific research, climate adaptation, and blue business development.

In this meeting, discussions focused on:
???? Strengthening ocean governance and local stewardship
???? Expanding financing for conservation and climate action
???? Promoting nature-based solutions that benefit both people & nature

By working together, we’re ensuring long-term investment in Belize’s coastal and marine resources, creating a more resilient and thriving blue economy for our country and people. ????????
