Description: Seychelles launched the world’s first sovereign blue bonds in 2018 to support sustainable marine and fisheries projects, aiding in the transformation of its blue economy. This seminar will focus on financial instruments, as well as related policies and governance for the sustainable development of the blue economy. It is an opportunity to discuss how private sector capital can be used to support the growth of the blue economy, investments eligible for funding with blue bonds, the legal structure of blue bonds, and the impacts of such financing instruments on local communities.

Each presenter will give a 5-minute speed talk on a topic relevant to the overall theme of the seminar, followed by a chaired discussion at the end of the presentations.

We will share presentation titles and speaker bios soon.
