The UN SDGs are proud to introduce… blue finance

Blue finance is set to take off this year, buoyed by growing appetite for investments in sustainable fisheries, conservation and alternative plastics. It’s further evidence of the influence of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Blue finance is coming. That’s right. 

Green finance is well and truly here, but this year the subset that is blue finance will take root and hopefully bring with it investment products and solutions for UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 ‘Life below water’, which seeks ‘to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources.’
