Really interesting new plan – writing off national debt for island nations, in exchange for them working with conservancy groups to create large, protected marine conservation areas. Seems like a perfect win-win solution to me – and one that could be easily replicated in countless ways in other places in addition to marine protection – eg desert reclamation projects, rainforest protection etc. Would love to see this expanded more widely. Hope it goes well!
