The ocean's growing socio-economic and geopolitical significance requires an estimated annual investment of USD $175 billion to establish a sustainable and inclusive maritime economy, requiring greater collaboration among the private sector, governments, intergovernmental organizations, and civil society. The Blue Economy and Finance Forum aims to showcase key developments for mobilizing substantial investments to transform the blue economy.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR), when paired with extensive emissions reductions, is a mitigation strategy to limit warming to 1.5°C as it removes legacy carbon emissions from the atmosphere by augmenting natural processes on ocean and land.
However, in order to meet climate goals, CDR must scale 30 times its present capacity by 2030, which is estimated to require an annual global investment of 1.13 billion USD/year for research and development.

This panel event is focused on the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch, which will provide a valuable tool to support the transparency of global mitigation action.
The system will be built on three components:
Open and unrestricted access to data will ensure a full transparency of system outputs, which will provide globally consistent information that will feed multiple applications including supplementary information to the traditional inventory reporting.
