Diving Deep: Finance, Ocean Pollution and Coastal Resilience
Description
The Principles provide a framework to inform financial decisions relating to the sustain-
able blue economy. If widely adopted, the Principles can help to transform how the
ocean’s assets are used and managed to secure healthy and resilient ecosystems, assur-
ing future environmental, social and economic resilience while advancing nature-based
solutions. However, it is critical that further sector-specific guidance, tools and metrics
are provided to give financial institutions the resources they need to adopt and imple-
ment the Principles and have tangible positive impacts on the transition to a sustainable
blue economy and ocean health.
