About the Episode: The Sustainable Ocean Economy

简而言之,可持续的海洋经济是人类有效地保护海洋和沿海生态系统,以可持续的方式使用海鲜等海洋资源的经济,并确保从海洋和海洋工业中受益,可以公平地分享并可以持续到未来。

那么,我们应该对过渡到可持续的海洋经济感到兴奋吗?答案是肯定的。健康的海洋是人类生活的核心,世界上有三分之一的人居住在海岸100公里(62英里)之内。这是一种了不起的资源,为30亿人提供了每日蛋白质,并吸收了所有二氧化碳排放量的四分之一。这对于我们的集体繁荣,数以百万计的工作以及不同人与不同土地之间的连接器的提供商也至关重要。

This first episode of “Big Ideas into Action” looks at two of the special reports that were commissioned by theHigh Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy。第一个探讨了与投资海洋经济发现每笔投资1美元在海上风能,脱碳运输,可持续的海洋粮食生产以及保护和恢复红树林等地区都会获得至少5美元。

第二个关注海洋经济在支持全球复苏方面可以发挥的重要作用from the coronavirus pandemic.

How do these ideas translate into action? Who better to tell us than two governmental leaders, in the shape of the Prime Minister of Norway, and the President of Palau (representing two of the fourteen countries that make up the Ocean Panel). They explain how these papers are shaping their policies in two very different oceanic contexts.

Finally, we hear from one of our WRI colleagues about how growing up a few minutes away from the beaches of Hong Kong shaped her career decisions, in a new feature called “People of WRI.”

情节的亮点

“这些投资不仅涉及经济回收,尽管它们交付了它们。它是为了保护人民和保护地球。我们需要停止将海洋视为气候变化的受害者,并开始谈论基于海洋的解决方案如何在系统中有助于实现经济复苏,并在系统中建立弹必威官网是真的吗性。”

曼西·科纳尔(Mansi Konar)“ 2050年可持续海洋经济的首席作者:近似其收益和成本”

“The benefits [of mangrove protection] are provided in terms of coastal protections, for instance protecting local people from storm surges and cyclones and sea level rise. They also provide important sequestration benefits from carbon mitigation. And they provide important nursery grounds for fisheries protections in local communities”

海伦丁, co-author of “A sustainable ocean economy for 2050: approximating its benefits and costs”

迄今为止,宣布的[后循环后恢复]措施中很少有人针对海洋经济。更少的旨在利用这一刻投资可持续和公平的海洋经济,该经济适合改善经济增长,依赖海洋社区的经济韧性。这是一个非常重要的错过的机会。”

Eliza Northrop,“可持续且公平的蓝色恢复到19日危机”的主要作者

“We can’t just have a conventional view of looking at the oceans just for working against the challenges that we see with pollution in the oceans. We have to work on sustainable economic development, the interdependence between jobs creation and clean oceans. Making sure that these economies are functioning for countries is extremely important for us.”

Erna Solberg, Prime Minister of Norway

“All over the world the ocean economy, ocean workers and coastal communities have been severely impacted by the Covid-19 crisis, and we have been impacted likewise. There is an opportunity here in new stimulus packages and international funding support, to put us on a course towards more equitable, resilient and sustainable ocean economies. Blue recoveries go hand-in-hand with green ones.”

Palau总裁Tommy Remengesau Jr

在本集中提到:

WRI担任秘书处可持续海洋经济的高级面板(海洋面板)。海洋小组是一项独特的举措,该计划由14个服务世界领导人迈向可持续的海洋经济的动力,在这种情况下,有效的保护,可持续生产和公平的繁荣是齐头并进的。
