OECD Urban Studies The Blue Economy in Cities and Regions A Territorial Approach
The blue economy is a major driver of urban and regional development, creating millions of local jobs in water-dependent sectors such as fisheries, tourism, and shipping. However, it can also contribute to carbon emissions and ecosystem degradation, while its reliance on freshwater, coastal and marine ecosystems exposes it to the impacts of climate change. As the places where the blue economy takes place, creates value and provides jobs, cities and regions play a key role in unlocking the potential of a resilient blue economy that preserves the ecosystems that sustain it. Building on a global survey of 80+ cities, regions and basins, this report highlights the costs and benefits of the blue economy at subnational level, shedding light on the link between the blue economy and water security. This analysis provides an overview of the multi-level governance of the blue economy and related gaps. It calls on cities and regions to develop resilient, inclusive, sustainable and circular (RISC-proof) blue economies by establishing the right governance conditions related to policy making, policy coherence and policy implementation. The report concludes with a RISC Assessment Framework that offers a self-evaluation tool for subnational governments.

Many nations around the world have established or are in the process of developing Blue Economy strategies so that marine management and economies can help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Interest in a Blue Economy has also been heightened through a strategic lens of post-COVID-19 economic recovery. The promise of a "Blue Economy" includes interests in delivering large-scale environmental protection alongside economic growth, revitalizing coastal communities, and development planning with coastal communities. Any national Blue Economy plan will need to occur alongside other national priorities and through national institutions and capacities. Learning from national cases can help inform the development of Blue Economy strategies and ocean-related sustainable development policies around the world. Marine sustainable development is a topic that has gained much attention given the multiple competing uses in marine spaces and transboundary issues of marine use, in addition to the emergence of new industries. While rich literature is being developed to help scope the Blue Economy broadly, there is a relative paucity of literature from the existing and emerging Blue Economy plans around the world. That is, there is much to learn from the early planning and implementation of Blue Economy strategies from specific countries and regions where broad theories and frameworks are tested and adapted. This Research Topic will catalyse greater attention to studying Blue Economy through the lens of national contexts. This Research Topic seeks input from Original Research, Methods, Policy and Practice Reviews, Perspectives, Community Case Studies, Policy Briefs, and Brief Research Reports, focusing on issues of Blue Economies from regions and nations with emerging or established Blue Economy plans and strategies. Research themes can be around: • Issues of development planning • Environmental impact assessment • Marine spatial planning and multi-criteria decision-making • Marine conservation • Coastal communities • Fisheries and aquaculture • Offshore energy • Marine tourism • Or other topics relevant to national and regional Blue Economy plans.
China's Blue Economy
The United States and China are each actively pursuing development of a Blue Economy to promote greater marine, maritime, and naval capabilities through more innovative, sustainable and environmentally friendly means. This book examines China’s approach to developing a Blue Economy, compares China’s efforts to developments in the United States, analyses prospects for cooperation, and competition, and outlines strategic implications arising from China’s linkage of the Blue Economy development concept to its Maritime Silk Road initiative. An understanding of the Blue Economy as it is being pursued in China and the Indo-Pacific region is extremely relevant for academics, industry professionals, and government officials. Features Describes in detail the development of the Blue Economy concept in China over time Includes geostrategic analysis based on the author's extensive research and explains the implications of China's Blue Economy strategy for the Indo-Pacific region Discusses timely and important topics of interest to government, industry, and academic experts, both present and future Adds value to the studies, interdisciplinary collaborations, and expertise on a complex issue of strategic, technological, and economic concern Clarifies the linkages among Blue Economy, environmental and sustainable development and recognizes the importance of understanding the Blue Economy concept at a global scale This book is written for everyone interested in Blue Economy studies, those who study and practice international relations, environmental policy and development, marine policy and governance, maritime and naval strategy, international and Asian affairs, as well as Indo-Pacific security matters.
