Workshop Salon: Thematic Trends & Challenges

Salon 3: Ocean Impact Across the Capital Spectrum

Oceans underpin climate stability, food security, and economic resilience — yet remain significantly undercapitalised. This interactive Salon convenes funders spanning philanthropy, catalytic capital, blended finance, and impact investing to examine how capital across the spectrum can be strategically aligned. Participants will explore how to sequence funding, share risk, and unlock scalable solutions — mobilising larger pools of capital to accelerate a regenerative and resilient blue economy.
