The ocean is fundamental to climate regulation, biodiversity, food security, trade, and livelihoods, generating significant value for the global economy. Yet marine ecosystems and ocean-dependent industries face increasing risks from climate change, pollution, and habitat degradation.
For organizations operating or investing in the blue economy, understanding innovative financing solutions is becoming increasingly important. This webinar will explore how blended finance can help mobilize capital to support a regenerative blue economy and a healthy ocean across sectors such as maritime transport, ports and logistics, coastal and marine tourism, marine energy, fisheries and aquaculture, subsea cables, and ocean conservation.
The session will examine key financing needs and opportunities in the blue economy, including:
- The connection between sustainable blue finance, responsible ocean use, and a just transition to a sustainable ocean economy.
- Financing approaches that strengthen coastal resilience and deliver positive outcomes for marine biodiversity.
- Scalable funding mechanisms that leverage contributions from ocean-based industries to create shared benefits for communities, businesses, and marine ecosystems.
- Emerging financing models for coastal resilience, ports, shipping, and related infrastructure.
