Abstract

The ocean. which regulates climate and supports vital ecosystem services. is crucial to our Earth system and livelihoods. Yet. it is threatened by anthropogenic pressures and climate change. A healthy ocean that supports a sustainable ocean economy requires adequate financing vehicles that generate. invest. align. and account for financial capital to achieve sustained ocean health and governance. However. the current finance gap is large; we identify key barriers to financing a sustainable ocean economy and suggest how to mitigate them. to incentivize the kind of public and private investments needed for topnotch science and management in support of a sustainable ocean economy. This talk will be based on the following paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-23168-y
