Incredible work, Joyeeta Das! Your insights on the gaps in #BlueFinance and the need for stronger asset-backed ocean investments are so crucial. The intersection of #BlueEconomy, #Space, and #Agritech holds immense potential, and your voice at the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is driving much-needed attention to these issues. It’s inspiring to see you challenge the status quo and push for real systemic change—because without the right financial instruments, scaling sustainable ocean solutions remains an uphill battle. The crisis is real, but so are the innovators like you who refuse to back down. 💙🌍 Keep leading the charge! 🚀💡 #OceanFinance #ClimateTech #ImpactInvesting #SustainableFuture
I am at the United Nations #Geneva I have been given the floor for #BlueFinance Section where I am inputting into the report for #financing into the #Blue sector ( or lack there of ) and adding concrete recommendations for change at various levels in members states and #private sector. A ' just energy transition is a balanced transition ' -I spoke about lack of right asset classes to invest in #blue #economy , the poor performance of the few ineffective ones . How many blue bonds have we seen? What is the % of #coinvestment private sector has done along with pilot-public #grants and others as a fraction of what they invest in non-carbon tracked investments and should this not be incentivised ( or penalised?) How can we create notional and legal maturity models for cover ratios in asset backed ocean financing that will have a wide range of variability given the nature of the work? Can we marry #space with #agritech and learn? This is my second time at Palais De Nations and the continued engagement gives me much hope at depressing times for the #climatetech sector. The crisis is real but the solutions are not backing down.. we are fighting for the planet and our children and our own future. Thanks UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Zarja Vojta and Carmen for the continue support in providing me the platform Hamish Stewart Deepak Shakya
