SESSION 1
🌊 Towards a Regenerative Blue Economy: Restore, Innovate, Include.
From overexploited oceans to thriving ecosystems, speakers at the Monaco Blue Initiative called for a shift in mindset. It’s no longer just about preserving. #MBI2025

"The blue economy and finance sectors have a vital role to play in transforming our systems at scale. The path is clear, the journey is long — but together, we move forward."

"In today’s uncertain global context, a series of major events lies ahead — including the Blue Economy and Finance Forum this June in Monaco and the 3rd UN Ocean Conference in Nice. These are key opportunities to build momentum and drive meaningful action." #mbi2025

"The urgency to act for the ocean has never been greater. On March 24th, at #MBI2025, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco reminded us of the critical need for cooperation between political leaders, scientists, and economic actors to protect and sustainably manage our ocean."

Session 1 of the #MBI2025 focused on the necessary transition towards a ”regenerative blue economy”. Panelists discussed the need to tell the story from the point of view of the Global South to enable business development, with several examples from Africa.
