From Red Lines to Blue Lines, Redrawing How We Invest in a Regenerative Blue Economy
From Red Lines to Blue Lines, Redrawing How We Invest in a Regenerative Blue Economy is a new report, published by ORRAA in collaboration with the WEF ACT Ocean and UNEP Finance Initiative. It provides clear guidance to financial institutions on how they can transition and align their investment portfolios towards a regenerative and sustainable ocean.
The report includes a foreword by Pascal Lamy, Coordinator of the Instituts Jacques Delors and former Director General of the WTO, Trevor Manuel, Chair of the Africa Expert Panel and former Finance Minister of South Africa, and Professor Andrés Velasco, Dean of the School of Public Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science and former Finance Minister of Chile. They assert that “Future-proofing global prosperity requires understanding the planetary-financial systems nexus. A regenerative and sustainable blue economy offers a pathway to align these systems.”
The report also includes a scientific synthesis by the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Future Earth Secretariat and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research which, for the first time, examines Planetary Boundaries at the intersection with the Ocean.
The report gives the financial community an outline of the Blue Line investment opportunities to turn the tide towards investment, opportunity and ocean regeneration.
