Blue Financing Framework
The AIS Forum, in partnership with the Innovative Financing Lab (IFL) of UNDP and DBS Bank Singapore are developing Blue Financing Strategy guidelines to encourage private sector investment in sustainable ocean-based and ocean-related economic activities.
The involvement of these private enterprises is urgently needed to facilitate the world’s transition to a more sustainable ocean economy. The Blue Financing Strategic document acts as a guide for investment in the blue economy by measuring the project’s impact based on environmental, economic and social factors. The team has also developed a Blue Bonds and Blue Sukuk Framework which guides archipelagic and island states in issuing debt instructions for sustainable ocean projects.
