An Ocean of Opportunity: How a Sustainable Blue Economy Creates Pathways toward Net Zero

Oceans are critical in slowing the rising tide of climate change, but institutional arrangements and targeted investment are needed to catalyze high-impact blue economies. This thematic session at the Asian Development Bank's (ADB) fourth Southeast Asia Development Symposium (SEADS) delved into how the coordinated efforts of institutional arrangements and blue finance mechanisms contribute to advancing a vibrant blue economy in SoutheastAsia.

The session was co-organized with ADB's ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility and Climateworks Centre.
