From Land to Sea - Rebuilding Ocean Abundance: Pathways to build, and finance coastal resilience

Join the Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet (GASP), in partnership with the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, Federated Hermes, Pegasus Capital Advisors and Voyacy Regen, for an exclusive Climate Week NYC session where we will introduce an ambitious  land-to-sea regeneration platform for Andhra Pradesh, India designed as a planetary-scale pilot and a potential model for replication in vulnerable coastal regions worldwide. The initiative will connect regeneration across the entire ecological continuum: Regenerative farms → watersheds → rivers → wetlands → mangroves → corals → fisheries → ocean This session convenes global leaders, innovators, and a capital coalition across philanthropy, development finance, and impact investment to move from fragmented projects to a measurable, investable, and globally replicable system.
