Marine Renewable Energy (MRE), "renewable energy production which makes use of marine resources or marine space," is a necessary step towards decarbonization and contributes to the growth of the Blue Economy (BE) – the "sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystems."  This webinar features a multi-disciplinary panel that will share insights on the applicability of MRE technologies approaches (e.g., blue economy, integrated solutions, holistic interventions) in the global context specifically in islands, island clusters (e.g., including archipelagic nations, big ocean states, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) & Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations (FCAS), and similar contexts) highlighting some case studies or examples, lessons learned, issues, concerns, and risks that may need to be addressed with potential pathways and solutions to move such emerging opportunities forward.
