114 | PARTNERS OF MONACO OCEAN WEEK

THE PRINCE ALBERT II OF MONACO FOUNDATION

HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco decided to create his Foundation in June 2006 as a response to the
concerning challenges facing our planet’s environment. For 15 years, the Prince Albert II of Mona-
co Foundation has carried out actions in three main geographic areas: the Mediterranean, the Polar
Regions, and the Least Developed Countries (according to the United Nations list) in order to limit
the effects of climate change and encourage renewable energies, protect biodiversity, manage water
resources and combat desertification. Active at an international level, the Foundation involves citizens,
political officials, scientists and economic stakeholders to defend nature, a common good of humanity.

THE MONACO GOVERNMENT

HSH the Sovereign Prince has made sustainable management of the seas, oceans and their resources
a priority area of Monaco’s national and international policy. The Monaco government works tirelessly to
this end, and particularly within the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adop-
ted by the United Nations.

That is why the Government is now involved in events for Monaco Ocean Week supported by the Prince
Albert II of Monaco Foundation, in which all Principality stakeholders are involved.
