Ocean Centres: Unlocking Blue Finance in Brazil, Ghana, and Kenya

Join us for the first Interactive Dialogue hosted by Ocean Centres — a global initiative of the UN @globalcompact , supported by the @lloyds_register_foundation , and active across Brazil, Ghana, Kenya, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

This online convening will feature an engaging global-to-local dialogue on Unlocking Blue Finance — bridging international financing mechanisms with national priorities to accelerate progress toward a Safe and Sustainable Ocean Economy (S-SOE).

A dynamic and resilient S-SOE is fundamental to shaping tomorrow’s blue-green economies. From decarbonized shipping and green port infrastructure to offshore renewables and sustainable seafood systems, ocean-aligned investments are rapidly redefining climate-smart finance.

Financial institutions, insurers, ocean industries, governments, and DFIs all have a critical role in steering this transformation.

🎙️ Global insights will be brought by:
• Beth Elliot — Lloyd’s Register Foundation
• Claire Jolly — OECD
• Suzanne Johnson — United Nations Global Compact

🌍 Local perspectives will be shared by:
• Nabil Kadri — BNDES (Brazil)
• Maria Ogbugo — Climate Champions Team (Ghana)
• Amb. Nancy Karigithu — Government of Kenya
