Progress Towards Achieving a Sustainable Ocean Economy by 2030
Since the Ocean Panel’s formation in 2018, actions have been taken worldwide to help create a sustainable ocean economy. The Ocean Panel’s progress reports illustrate the strides that have been made and showcase the exciting breadth of action taking place in Ocean Panel countries. Reports are prepared by the Ocean Panel Secretariat in collaboration with in-country experts and in consultation with Ocean Panel countries.
Achieving a sustainable ocean economy in which effective protection, sustainable production and equitable prosperity go hand in hand, requires a profound departure from ‘business-as-usual’ practices and transformations in five critical areas – ocean wealth, ocean health, ocean equity, ocean knowledge and ocean finance.
Actions speak louder than words.
The Panel’s 2021 report provides a snapshot of progress made by Ocean Panel countries around the world since 2018 with stories of how they have elaborated their national strategies to successfully promote effective protection of ocean areas, transform local communities through sustainable production, and nurture equitable prosperity in ocean communities.
This report dives into specific experiences from around the world, showing how far the Ocean Panel has come and what is possible if all countries steer in the same direction.
Peer-reviewed publications are providing the latest science and knowledge.
This research, commissioned by the ocean panel to inform the agenda, has been created with input from over 250 experts across 48 countries.
