The Blue Economy is an emerging focus area for sustainable development in many countries (many have more marine area than terrestrial area under their jurisdiction). There are a range of development opportunities in sustainable fisheries/ aquaculture, addressing marine pollution, resilient seascape management, and rethinking oceanic sectors that can help them with growth and poverty alleviation goals. These are complemented by sustainability and governance challenges including marine pollution (including plastics/microplastics), climate risks exacerbated by climate change (sea level rise, coastal storms and flooding), coastal erosion, and inadequate information, institutional, and infrastructure capacity and frameworks to manage these issues effectively. Emerging technologies have the capacity to “disrupt” the blue economy by helping countries leapfrog and scale impact when adopted effectively. These include “disruptive technologies” that are already helping rethink informatics for decision support, operational systems, and stakeholder interaction in “BlueTech”. There is a strong need especially in the developing world to learn from emerging global good practices and risk management measures in a rapidly changing technological environment. The World Bank’s Open Learning Campus (OLC), the Digital Development Global Practice, and the Environment, Natural Resources & Blue Economy Global Practice are helping document and showcase evolving global innovations of interest to this new BlueTech world as part of this free virtual knowledge exchange. This learning framework will also include live sessions in English (with live translation into French, and Spanish) to introduce the evolving concept of “BlueTech” with examples drawn from around the world. This will be supported by an interactive resource book (with an associated data catalog and knowledge explorer), that will help users learn at their own pace and be a “live” resource with additional innovations e-packaged over time. No pre-requisites except a desire to learn about BlueTech. Successful participants will need to attend the two “live” webinars, review the learning material, participate in the discussion e-forums and complete an information and fun quiz to get completion certificates from the OLC.
