CT0035: Strengthening Africa’s Blue Economy and Maritime Sector
About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth’s water. This points to the truth that the maritime sector holds so much value. How do we make the best of these rich marine resources without compromising on the health of our planet and make these resources available for the yet unborn generation?
On this episode of the Climate Talk Podcast, my guest, Dr. Dolapo Oluteye introduces us to the concept of ‘Blue economy’. Dr. Dola shares insights about the international frameworks guiding how marine resources are explored, the connection with climate change, and amplifying Africa’s voice in the global maritime sector.
On this episode Dr. Dola shares thought about:
– Blue Economy – in the simplest definition
– Africa’s place in technical engagement during international negotiations
– Scaling up cleaner alternative for maritime transport sector
– Financial mechanisms to decarbonize the maritime sector
– Collaboration and collective action to advance climate action.
There is so much to learn on this podcast. Read about IMO’s GHG Reduction Strategy and the UNCTAD maritime assessment. Connect with Dr. Dolapo Oluteye via LinkedIn.
