Posted An opportunity to reinvent our food system and unlock human capital too on Blogs
Authors: ROBERT JONES I PAWAN PATIL What if we had the chance to reinvent the world’s food system and make local, more sustainable, nourishing and diverse food the new norm rather than the exception? Experts agree that world food production will need a boost by 2050 (and we'll need to waste less) to feed our growing planet. Some estimates suggest we only have 60 years of food production left in our soils if we continue with current unsustainable agricultural practices, including misplaced subsidies. Moreover, arable land and freshwater are in limited supply. Read the full blog at: https://blogs.worldbank.org/voices/opportunity-reinvent-our-food-system-and-unlock-human-capital-too |

Posted Protecting oceans from climate change impacts on Blogs
Authors: JULIANA CASTAÑO-ISAZA & SYLVIA MICHELE DIEZ
Oceans play an integral role in climate change mitigation, absorbing some 23% of human-caused carbon dioxide emissions and more than 90% of the excess heat created by human-caused greenhouse gases. Despite the potential of oceans to mitigate climate change, only 8 of 192 countries with nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement have included quantifiable measurements for marine carbon sequestration ; and the NDCs of only two countries (Bahamas and Fiji) refer to ocean-based renewable energy. "Oceans play an integral role in climate change mitigation, absorbing some 23% of human-caused carbon dioxide emissions and more than 90% of the excess heat created by human-caused greenhouse gases."

Posted Unleashing the Blue Economy for economic recovery and resilience in the Eastern Caribbean on Blogs
Authors: SYLVIA MICHELE DIEZ I DAVID ADEYEMI AROMOKEYE I JORGE BARBOSA
Thanks to picturesque beaches, incredible marine biodiversity, and warm, welcoming people, the Caribbean tourism industry boomed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, dominating the region’s economy. Tourism, which is a major employer in the Caribbean, contributed 15.2% (or $57 billion annually) to the region’s prosperity. Unfortunately, the necessary lockdown measures to curb the pandemic have severely impacted the sector. Tourism is projected to decline 58%-78% globally in 2020 according to the UN World Trade Organization, jeopardizing job prospects in the Caribbean, where 54% of workers in the hotel and hospitality industry are women.] Please read the full blog at: https://blogs.worldbank.org/latinamerica/unleashing-blue-economy-economic-recovery-and-resilience-eastern-caribbean
