Description:

Established in September 2018, the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (HLP) is a unique initiative of 14 serving heads of government committed to catalysing bold, pragmatic solutions for ocean health and wealth that support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and build a better future for people and the planet. The report that this brief summarises was prepared in support of the work of the HLP. The arguments, findings, and recommendations made in the report represent the views of the authors only.
