Navigating a sustainable blue economy: Target-setting for financial institutions

UNEP FI launches its new handbook for financial institutions on how to set targets in blue economy sectors. Developed in collaboration with members of the Finance Initiative for a Sustainable Blue Economy, as well as supporting institutions, and in line with global frameworks for impact management and goal setting, this handbook provides a comprehensive framework and practical insights for financial institutions to apply the UNEP FI Turning the Tide and Diving Deep sectoral guidance within their activities.

The document makes it easier for institutions to set targets that align with these guidelines and support the transition to a sustainable blue economy, in line with the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Paris Agreement.

Join this webinar to learn how banks, insurers, and investors can drive the transition to a sustainable blue economy.

• Klaas de Vos, Founder, Ocean Fox Advisory
• Louise Hall, Director of Loss Prevention and Corporate Responsibility, Shipowners Club

• Present the methodology for setting sustainable blue economy goals for financial institutions.
• Present case studies of financial institutions applying the target-setting methodology put in place.
