The Sustainable Blue Economy Conference built on the momentum of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the 2015 Climate Change Conference in Paris and the UN Ocean Conference 2017 “Call to Action”.
The conference was able to:
- Identify how to harness the potential of the blue economy to create jobs and combat poverty and hunger
- Show how economic development and healthy waters go hand in hand
- Capture commitments and practical actions that can be taken
- Bring together the players needed to transition to a blue economy
