Fostering Inclusive, Climate-Smart Ocean Economies

Inclusive economies require inclusive institutions. Yet, coastal fishing communities—especially the most vulnerable—are systematically locked out of policy making and economic opportunity. 

At I4OA, we work to drive the needed institutional reforms to build prosperous, climate-smart economies that benefit all. To do so, we champion secure tenure rights, local leadership, and participatory governance that enable transforming communities into true agents of change.
