The IUCN has released a report titled “Towards a Regenerative Blue Economy – Mapping the Blue Economy”
It proposed a definition and principles for a Regenerative Blue Economy (RBE).
The RBE model aims for effective regeneration and protection of ocean ecosystems, along with sustainable economic activities and fair prosperity.
It emphasizes the protection, restoration, and resilience of marine ecosystems, prioritizing inclusion, fairness, and indigenous rights and the ecosystem preservation.
It is excluding activities like oil extraction and deep-sea mining for carbon reduction.
