The Nairobi Statement of Intent on Advancing the Global Sustainable Blue Economy
19 June 2020
Statement from the Sustainable Blue Economy Conference
Inspired by the unique global opportunity to build greater prosperity for all while protecting these water resources for the present and future generations, over 18,000 participants... had strategic conversations during the first ever global conference on the sustainable blue economy held in Nairobi, Kenya from 26th to 28th November, 2018...
With collective determination, and building on efforts at the local, national and international levels, the global community can intensify investments and harness the full potential of the oceans, seas, lakes and rivers to accelerate economic growth, create jobs and to fight poverty. Simultaneously, the world can improve the health of the oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers and the ecosystems they support which are under increased threats and in decline in many countries and regions across the globe.
