Caribbean Challenge Initiative

Founded in 2008 by a group of Caribbean governments eager to enhance the conservation of their marine and coastal resources, the CCI has since grown to include private sector membership and garner over US $75 million in funding commitments. CCI Governments and territories signed a CCI Leaders Declaration in May 2013 committing them to the protect and conserve 20 % of their marine and coastal resources by 2020. CCI companies committed to changing business practices and supporting the conservation actions of the CCI Leaders Declaration by endorsing the CCI Corporate Compact.
