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

During this webinar organized by UNEP FI, the new guide for financial institutions on how to set targets in the blue economy sectors was presented: Setting sail: Target setting in the Sustainable Blue Economy.

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 knowledge for financial institutions to apply the UNEP FI Turning the Tide and Diving Deep sectoral guidance in their activities.

The document allows financial 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.
