Etude de mécanismes de financement innovants des récifs coraliens
Context
Coral reef protection is underfunded
In 2017, while coral reefs supported essential sectors like tourism, fishing, and coastal protection, the funding allocated for their conservation remained very insufficient. A small share of global resources dedicated to climate and biodiversity was specifically allocated to them, despite the increasing pressures from warming, ocean acidification, and local impacts.
In light of this chronic deficit, international actors began to recognize the need to mobilize innovative financing mechanisms capable of attracting public, private, and philanthropic capital. These new approaches were seen as essential to secure more stable financial flows, bridge the gap between needs and available resources, and sustainably support the management and restoration of coral reefs.

Analyze promising innovative financing mechanisms
It is in this context that the ICRI Secretariat ("International Coral Reef Initiative") commissioned Vertigo Lab to conduct a review of innovative financing mechanisms for marine ecosystems; and based on a detailed analysis of two to three financing mechanisms, a series of concrete proposals to develop innovative mechanisms capable of meeting the current funding needs for coral reef protection.
The study aimed to conduct a review of innovative financing mechanisms applied or applicable to marine ecosystems, followed by an in-depth analysis of two to three mechanisms deemed promising.
BENEFITS
Propose operational solutions to bridge the funding gap
This work allowed for the assessment of the feasibility of the mechanisms, their capacity to mobilize additional capital, and their potential to secure stable funding for conservation initiatives.
Based on these analyses, Vertigo Lab formulated a series of concrete proposals to develop innovative financial mechanisms tailored to coral reef protection. Our recommendations provided a roadmap to help governments, donors, environmental organizations, and private actors design, test, and deploy mechanisms capable of sustainably supporting reef resilience.
This analysis also contributed to clarifying how hybrid models combining public, private, and philanthropic funding could address the chronic resource deficit for coral reefs.
The + Vertigo Lab
A unique expertise in environmental economics and financial engineering, which allows for the identification, analysis, and structuring of innovative mechanisms for the benefit of coral reefs.
