Sustainable Blue Economy

A well-managed ocean can deliver enhanced economic development, social inclusion, and improvement of livelihoods – while ensuring environmental sustainability. There are new economic opportunities in the greening of shipping, expansion of offshore renewable energy, innovative technologies improving fisheries sustainability, ecotourism, sustainable aquaculture, and the development of new types of marine food. Many ocean-using industries are expected to show impressive growth this decade, and there are promising solutions developed by global innovators and entrepreneurs contributing to driving this growth towards more sustainable outcomes. But how to finance the sustainable blue economy while delivering lasting solutions at scale and pace?

In this context, it's crucial for businesses, governments, and civil society to work together to find common solutions and take decisive action. Through its Centres, the World Economic Forum integrates public-private efforts to achieve greater impact.
