An Equitable and Sustainable Ocean Economy: The role of finance in mitigating risk and building resilience

In this session, we will explore the latest knowledge on emerging ocean risks in the Anthropocene, and the role finance can play in driving investment into marine and coastal natural capital, reducing ocean risks, strengthening resilience in coastal communities, and ultimately assisting a transformation towards a just and equitable ocean economy.

Stockholm+50 offers an important opportunity to shift the trajectory of our common future, from one of decline to one of recovery. It can help accelerate actions that not only reduce risks but also set the foundation for actions that tackle inequalities and create prosperity within planetary boundaries. This high-level roundtable is intended to contribute to these discussions, help innovate systems thinking, and accelerate action.

This seminar is organized in collaboration between the Global Resilience Partnership and the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance. It is part of the initiative “Economy and Finance for a Just Future on a Thriving Planet” which has been commissioned by the Stockholm+50 secretariat to support the discussions leading up to the Stockholm+50 conference and contribute with a synthesis report delivered to the conference. The initiative is led by the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
