This era of global stewardship and innovation also saw the establishment of the Global Ocean Restoration Network (GORN). Dedicated to the restoration and preservation of marine ecosystems, the GORN focused on projects like coral reef regeneration, ocean clean-up initiatives, and the protection of marine biodiversity. This network played a crucial role in reversing the damage done to the oceans, restoring their health, and ensuring the sustainability of marine life.
Digital empowerment continued to advance with the Worldwide Digital Skills Initiative (WDSI). This initiative offered digital training and education programs globally, particularly targeting regions with low digital literacy. By equipping individuals with essential digital skills, the WDSI ensured that more people could participate in and benefit from the global digital economy.
