National Blue Agenda Actions Partnership
In November 2022, on the margins of the G20 Summit in Bali, the Government of Indonesia, the UN in Indonesia and development partners launched the National Blue Agenda Actions Partnership (NBAAP) as the coordination platform for blue agenda development in Indonesia. The partnership focuses on four key areas: blue health, blue food, blue innovation, and blue finance strategies.
The Partnership aims to assist in the acceleration of progress to achieve the GoI’s development targets on Blue Agenda at the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024. This includes strengthening synergy and coordination of the implementation of government programs with relevant stakeholders and supporting global agendas such as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, the UN of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
4 KEY PILLARS OF NBAAP
The NBAAP comprises four key pillars, namely:
Blue Health: Prioritizing efforts to safeguard the health of oceans and water bodies, recognizing their vital role in supporting life and ecosystems.
Blue Food: Focusing on sustainable and responsible practices in marine and aquatic food production to ensure food security while conserving marine ecosystems.
Blue Innovation: Encouraging research and development in sustainable technologies and solutions that can contribute to ocean conservation and responsible use of marine resources.
Blue Finance: Establishing financial mechanisms and investments supporting sustainable marine initiatives and fostering development of blue economy.
Through the implementation of these pillars, Indonesia aims to play a leading role in addressing global challenges related to oceans and sustainability while fostering partnerships to achieve these ambitious goals.
