However, the concept of the blue economy can be grounded in a more holistic perspective of other Sustainable Development Goals, such as SDG 13 -- climate action, SDG 6 -- clean water; SDG 7 -- clean and renewable energy, etc."He added, "...which also highlight areas such as fresh water and riverine life and resources; the issue of marine pollution from oil spillage and fossil fuel dependent shipping and transportation modalities; biodiversity and marine agricultural resources etc.""The agenda of World Economic Forum Davos 2022 recognised the fact that G20 nations primarily have 45 per cent of global coastline and jurisdictional responsibility over 21 per cent of World's Exclusive Economic Zone," the CAG said, adding, "Therefore, eradicating poverty from the world would require realising the full potential of the Blue Economy in all countries, while ensuring a sustainable flow of resources."( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
