| dc.description | The World Bank Group supports climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resilience by promoting Blue Economy job growth in Africa and worldwide. From climate-smart and resilient urban development to improving economic participation and decision-making for marginalized groups, the World Bank Group works with a broad toolkit of financing solutions to support governments with on-the-ground development and institutional strengthening. The challenge is how to combine growing the Blue Economy with providing jobs for Africa’s working-age population, which is expected to grow to 450 million people by 2035. Critical governance and policy reforms for Africa’s Blue Economy include building public-sector capacity, aligning economic interests with long-term sustainability, and promoting conditions that encourage business growth in a sustainable seafood sector. Measuring the success of reforms on jobs and livelihoods can be challenging. Still, cutting-edge blue economy thinking reveals itself when the restoration of mangroves, seagrass beds, and dune vegetation, for example, is combined with successful climate-smart job and livelihood support in Africa. | |
