#FinancingSDGs #FinanceReimagined
In this podcast, produced by RESI at ODI-Global, I speak with impact investors at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice on the opportunities and challenges associated with investing in the ocean in Small Island Developing States (SIDS)
I worked with the OECD Sustainable Ocean for All initiative to develop a guidance document on aid for SDG 14
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) depend heavily on the ocean for their livelihoods, economies and climate resilience. Yet they face stark and growing inequities in how ocean resources are accessed, governed and financed. A new briefing paper from ODI Global's Resilient and Sustainable Islands Initiative (RESI) calls for bold action to place equity at the heart of the international oceans agenda - and ensure SIDS can thrive as stewards of the sea.
COP28 will consider Nature, Land Use and Oceans. Marine ecosystems stabilise the climate and support human wellbeing. Can a GPI approach help us conserve and use oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development?
Our "Blue Paper" explores how organised crime in the fisheries sector threatens a sustainable ocean and puts forward an action plan to tackle the problem
