APN: Invitation to Webinar: Green Economy in a Blue World (Session 3)

Invitation to Webinar: Green Economy in a Blue World (Session 3)

 

To promote dialogue, and share knowledge and experiences on coastal and marine ecosystem-based economic development, The World Bank and GRID-Arendal are collaborating in delivery of a series of interactive video conference seminars on the theme of a Green Economy in a Blue World. The seminars highlight opportunities and discuss innovative regional experiences on how coastal and marine ecosystem-based economic development can be managed to support a green economy in East Asia and the Pacific.

Session 3 in the series will focus on offshore marine resources, primarily seabed mineral deposits and fisheries. As technology improves, opportunities for resource harvesting and rents to countries increase, along with social and environmental risks associated with extraction and benefit distribution. Fishing and mineral extraction both present potential sources of sustainable growth for coastal economies. However, managing these offshore resources also poses tremendous governance, environmental, technical and social–economic challenges.
