Blue Finance 2025: Investing in Ocean Sustainability is being held 10– 1 September at the Royal Geographical Society, 1 Kensington Gore, London,
This inaugural event will highlight that investment in nature, biodiversity and the ocean economy is growing, but with both the public and private sectors requiring action to secure nature-positive outcomes. Progress is held back by key challenges, including:
- A shared understanding between the finance sector and ocean sustainability practitioners to maximise investment impact
- Mobilised finance to deliver marine restoration and recovery at scale
- Measuring the impact of investment on ocean sustainability
The event will bring together ocean sustainability and finance specialists. Through dialogue and collaboration between these communities, the conference will catalyse opportunities for financing solutions that protect and restore ocean health, generate equitable outcomes for communities, and ensure returns and impact to mobilise investment.
Key discussion themes will include:
- Developing a shared language across financial institutions and ocean sustainability practitioners to enhance collaboration and investor confidence.
- Ensuring finance reaches the right places at the right time and at the scale needed to drive meaningful change.
- Measuring investment impact to guarantee sustainable outcomes for the environment, local communities, and the economy.
Bringing insightful speakers, panel sessions, and interactive workshops, the conference will set the pathway toward a future where financial flows support a thriving, sustainable ocean economy.
