A sobering but also inspiring Economist Ocean Summit held on February 22nd-24th 2017 in Nusa Dua, Bali with several side events on zero waste to oceans, saving the most resilient coral reefs in the world to financing a sustainable ocean economy, engaging millennials and showing new movies on corals and the mysterious creatures of the deep sea.

Of particular interest was the launch of a global plan to save coral reefs: https://50reefs.org presented by Prof. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Director of the Global Change Institute, the University of Queensland in collaboration with The Ocean Agency from Australia. The 50 Reefs initiative starts with a vital scientific study, overseen by a panel of the world’s leading experts with also a focus on communication and conservation. The initiative is supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, and The Tiffany & Co. Foundation. Siti Syahwali, operations and regional hub manager also attended the ocean conference and engaged in discussions on the emerging risks and investment frameworks for the ocean, climate change risk and financing.
