BANKING ON THE OCEAN: SOUTHEAST ASIA’S ROLE IN PIONEERING BLUE DECARBONISATION

Hosted by: Temasek
Moderator: Franziska Zimmermann, Director, Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy, Temasek
Ocean-based climate solutions could deliver up to a fifth of NDCs but seldom feature in national climate pledges. Southeast Asia, with its long coastlines and a territorial sea space three times larger than its landmass, could offer opportunities for the development of ocean-based mitigation solutions with significant ecosystem co-benefits. Research seeking to identify and scale ocean-based decarbonisation activities, alongside the development of robust MRV methods, is currently ongoing. What can be learnt from current research and pilots that could catalyse ocean-based climate mitigation projects, and spur investor confidence to unlock the ocean as a key pathway to net zero?
