Annual Report 2023


In 2023, the British branch, under its President, HE Evelyne Genta, continued to support a number of field projects and helped boost the influence of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.
On  7 March, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco visited London to take part in a conference on the theme of climate change in the Arctic, organised by Investec and UArctic. In his keynote speech, the Sovereign Prince stressed the need to ensure that the problems related to the Arctic remain high on the global agenda despite the geopolitical context. On Wednesday 28 June, the Embassy of Monaco in London hosted a reception with representatives of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and Monaco Asset Management to introduce ReOcean Fund, a new private investment fund. On Thursday 12 October, a fundraising dinner was hosted by HE Evelyne Genta, Sir Dennis Gillings and Lady Mireille Gillings for around 60 guests, the majority of whom are closely involved in environmental protection.

The British branch supported two new projects in 2023: the High Conservation Value Network programme, and the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust project to improve the resilience of wetlands in Cambodia.
