Collaboration is key to accelerating a sustainable and equitable ocean economy – Report
A ‘Blue Economy’ – a truly sustainable and equitable ocean economy – is at a tipping point with the potential for significant acceleration and growth – but only if the right frameworks are wrapped around it. This is the key finding of a series of ground-breaking new reports from the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, which have been commissioned by the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance (ORRAA).
The trio of reports, some of the most comprehensive ever undertaken into levels of ocean-related investment and finance, point to the downside risk of unbalanced, inequitable and unsustainable investment decisions in the Ocean. Without a course correction, there is a clear danger of such investment increasing levels of inequality and harm to the Ocean and the communities that depend on it.
