The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Gere Foundation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on environmental protection and planetary health initiatives.
The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Gere Foundation have formalised their environmental partnership by signing a Memorandum of Understanding in Monaco on 19 September 2026. The agreement creates a formal framework for the two organisations to explore joint opportunities in environmental protection and planetary health, marking a significant step beyond the initial announcement of their collaboration.
Prince Albert II has established his foundation as a leading voice on ocean conservation, climate action and biodiversity protection. By bringing the Gere Foundation into this established network, the partnership extends the Principality's environmental influence into new circles of influence and demonstrates a shared commitment to addressing global challenges.
Whilst specific project details and timelines remain to be announced, the signed MoU signals the seriousness of both organisations' intent to work together on planetary health issues. For Monaco residents and those connected to the Principality, the formalised partnership reinforces the Prince Albert II Foundation's role as a significant diplomatic and civil-society actor on the world stage.
