Blue Economy Webinar: Pathways to Prosperity in South-West Asia
Our co-founder Adam Brancher is looking forward to presenting the forthcoming Blue Economy webinar hosted by our partners Global CEO Alliance, CIFAL Lebanon, and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR).
This webinar is targeted at Government leaders, maritime professionals, researchers, environmental organisations, and other interested parties. It dives into the potential and opportunities for South-West Asia to coordinate its activities in the global Blue Economy and how doing so aligns with the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
