\u00a9 Unsplash\/Benjamin L. Jones. Seagrass meadows – expanses of green, grass-like shoots and flowers – are a hugely effective nature-based solution to climate change.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

T<\/span>he world\u2019s coastal populations contribute significantly to the global economy \u2013 an estimated $1.5 trillion per year \u2013 with expectations pointing to some $3 trillion by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring ocean ecosystem health, supporting livelihoods and driving economic growth requires targeted support for key sectors, including fisheries and aquaculture, tourism, energy, shipping and port activities, and seabed mining, as well as innovative areas such as renewable energy and marine biotechnology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marine resources \u2018essential\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is particularly important to small island developing states (SIDS<\/a>)<\/strong>, for whom marine resources are critical assets, providing them with food security, nutrition, employment, foreign exchange, and recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, through evidence-based policy interventions, these assets can also make enhanced and sustained contributions to the economic growth, and prosperity of SIDS and least developed countries (LDCs<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participating in the main interactive dialogue of the second-day<\/a> of the Conference, former President of Seychelles, Danny Faure, explained to UN News<\/strong> that it is \u201cextremely important that small States have a place at the table, to ensure that they can put forward their aspirations and move in the right direction\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acknowledging that climate change continues to affect his own country, and several SIDS<\/strong>, Mr. Faure called on the international community to continue to support countries like Seychelles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe blue economy is essential for the livelihoods of our people and nations. I see [investment] coming very slowly and I believe it is very important that, internationally, we continue to maintain the focus, so we can build partnerships between civil society and private sector,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
