A growing tide of innovation is building in the BlueEconomy.

Led by a world-class team, the Blue Bond Accelerator is working to unlock finance for the sustainable ocean economy, and BwB is honoured to be part of that journey.

We are delighted that BwB Global Head of Sustainable Sovereign Finance, Chris Smith, has been invited to join the Blue Bond Accelerator Advisory Board to support the design of high-integrity, innovative financial solutions that will unlock real impact for ocean health and coastline resilience.

“The blue economy receives less than 1% of all climate and biodiversity finance, yet its role in climate resilience, biodiversity, and livelihoods is huge,” comments Renata Haseth, BwB Sector Champion for Blue Economy Finance. “Scaling blue bonds is essential. Great to see my colleague Chris Smith joining the Blue Bond Accelerator Advisory Board to help drive this forward.”

BwB looks forward to working closely with sovereigns to develop investment-ready blue bond pipelines that deliver both ecological and economic returns.
