UNEP Blue Economy

The UNEP Blue Economy refers to the sustainable use of ocean and marine resources to promote economic growth, improve livelihoods, and protect the environment. It includes activities like fishing, shipping, renewable energy, and tourism, aiming to balance economic development with the health of oceans. The goal is to harness maritime resources responsibly so that they benefit current and future generations without causing environmental harm or depleting ecosystems. By adopting practices that prioritize sustainability, the Blue Economy seeks to foster economic prosperity while conserving the vital life-supporting functions of our oceans.
