SDG14 Financing Landscape Scan: Tracking Funds to Realize Sustainable Outcomes for the Ocean
The World Economic Forum’s Tracking Investment in and Progress Toward SDG14 examines global efforts to protect oceans, seas, and marine resources. It highlights the financing gap for sustainable ocean initiatives, noting that current investment levels are far below what is needed to meet SDG14 targets. The report stresses the importance of innovative financing mechanisms, blended capital, and public-private partnerships to drive progress. It showcases examples where targeted investments have advanced marine conservation, sustainable fisheries, and coastal resilience. To achieve long-term impact, the report calls for greater transparency, stronger data, and coordinated global action to accelerate ocean sustainability.
