Sustainable Ocean for All
Harnessing the Benefits of Sustainable Ocean Economies for Developing Countries
Adopting more sustainable ways of managing the ocean is a global priority: protecting
its health will bring benefits to all. Developing countries face specific challenges,
as many depend heavily on ocean-based industries and are overly exposed to the consequences
of ocean degradation. Enhancing their access to science, policy advice and financing
would allow them to tap better into the opportunities of a more sustainable ocean
economy, including more decent jobs, cleaner energy, improved food security and enhanced
resilience, while contributing to the protection of the world’s ocean.
This report provides policy makers in developing countries, as well as their development
co-operation partners with a wealth of fresh evidence on (i) the latest trends in
selected ocean-based industries; (ii) policy instruments, including economic incentives,
to promote ocean sustainability in various contexts; (iii) the first review of development
finance and development co-operation practices in support of more sustainable ocean
economies, including a discussion of how development co-operation can help re-orient
private finance towards sustainability.
