The European Investment Bank (EIB Global) brought together Team Europe representatives – including the Delegation of the European Union to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Embassies of EU Member States in Jakarta – alongside Indonesian authorities, civil society organisations, non-governmental organisations, think tanks, university students and local community members for a clean-up and reef restoration effort in the Thousand Islands archipelago. The area is increasingly affected by marine pollution, coastal erosion and declining coral health.
