TORONTO, Feb. 27, 2024 /CNW/ – The Investment Industry Association of Canada (IIAC) has unveiled a prominent panel of experts to discuss how we can bring the power of capital markets to Canada’s Blue Economy.
The economic activity related to our oceans, seas, coasts, and related industries is considerable and the continued sustainable use of ocean resources for our economic growth and healthy marine ecosystem is a viable concern.
While a nascent market today, blue bonds are an emerging area of sustainable finance and could support projects focused on the Blue Economy – coastal climate adaptation and resilience; marine ecosystem management, conservation and restoration; sustainable coastal and marine tourism; sustainable marine value chains; marine renewable energy; marine pollution; sustainable ports; and sustainable marine transport.
