COP27: Blue Finance – Unlocking the Potential of the Blue Economy
Follow the event on Twitter #ClimateActionWBG
The objective of this panel discussion is to explore the blue economy—how it is defined, what it encompasses, and what/where is driving the demand. The panel discussion will also explore momentum for blue finance among investors, financial institutions, and issuers globally, as well as climate-smart investing in biodiversity—and how MDBs and others are responding to this increasing demand.
It was an enriching panel discussion on the #BlueEconomy w/ @andersen_inger, @RhianMariThomas moderated by @xkarenfang. Growing up in Senegal, I know how important it is to protect our oceans and their ecosystems. #BlueBonds & #BlueLoans will be crucial to support this sector. pic.twitter.com/QlgA3vtyyi
