Ocean economy
A sustainable blue economy is built on healthy marine ecosystems, where finance and policy measures are used to scale up regenerative activities in coastal and marine areas.
Marine natural capital is the foundation of a sustainable blue economy. Blue finance is a tool to unlock the benefits that marine natural capital provides. Together, these elements can power a sustainable and equitable blue economy. This would create new economic opportunities while boosting financial and environmental resilience in an uncertain world.
Marine natural capital
Marine natural capital refers to ocean ecosystems that provide vital support to our economy and wellbeing. It is the foundation of a sustainable blue economy and essential to a resilient future.
Building a sustainable blue economy
A sustainable blue economy can meet political and environmental goals. It can create economic growth, new jobs and financial resilience. This requires a shift towards a regenerative rather than extractive relationship towards our marine environment.
Blue finance
The ocean is fundamental to all life on earth, but ocean health receives very little funding. Blue finance can change the fortunes of our seas and help to turn the tide on climate change with corporate help.
