Feb 2024 WWFUS Oceans Strategy Overview

The WWF-US Oceans strategy aims to achieve nature-positive seascapes and sustainable blue economies by 2030. The approach integrates place-based conservation, the deployment of nature-based solutions for climate resilience, and the use of blue finance to shift capital away from harmful activities. Additionally, the 'Oceans Futures' initiative addresses the nexus of ocean health and geopolitical stability through predictive analytics and conflict resolution to prevent unsustainable resource extraction.

• WWF-US has established four primary 2030 impact targets: providing resilient food and livelihood security for 100 million people, protecting billions in economic infrastructure using nature-based solutions, recovering and growing marine resources and ecosystems in its operational areas, and reducing societal instability, crime, and conflict through marine natural resource management.
• The strategy for nature-positive seascapes employs a science-based methodology to implement sustainable fisheries management, establish marine protected areas and other effective area-based conservation efforts, and utilize nature-based solutions for climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience.
• The 'Oceans Markets and Blue Finance' initiative seeks to transition capital from harmful activities toward sustainable blue economy pathways, specifically targeting the shipping, coastal development, marine renewables, and seafood sectors to improve their social and environmental footprints.
• The 'Oceans Futures' program focuses on the link between ocean health and geopolitical tension, providing predictive analytics and strategic planning to help maritime security and enforcement organizations combat unsustainable marine resource extraction.
