Sustainable Blue Economy Conference, November 2018
The Sustainable Blue Economy Conference is the first global conference on the Blue Economy, hosted by the Kenyan Goverment
In taking the initiative to host the Conference, the Kenyan Government aims at providing a global forum for contributing to and advancing global conversation on the two important pillars of the Blue Economy. These are sustainability, climate change and controlling pollution on one hand; and production, accelerated economic growth, jobs and poverty alleviation on the other.
The Sustainable Blue Economy Conference is the first global conference on the blue economy in Africa. Participants from around the world are coming together in Nairobi on November 26 to 28 to share ideas on how to transition to a blue economy that:
- Harnesses the potential of our oceans, seas, lakes and rivers to improve the lives of all, particularly developing states and women and girls
- Leverages the latest innovations, scientific advances and best practices to build prosperity while conserving our waters for future generations
The conference will promote a blue economy that is, above all, inclusive, sustainable and prosperous.
The program and participants will be announced closer to the date and can be found on the website.
