Ocean Systems Change
Explore how catalytic, systems-driven investment strategies can deliver both impact and returns
Official UNOC side event
Hosted by Katapult Ocean, Builders Vision
The ocean is our planet’s largest, most vital natural asset-and one of its most overlooked investment frontiers. As climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution accelerate, the need for transformative action has never been more urgent. Traditional, isolated solutions are no longer enough. It’s time to harness the power of systems thinking to unlock scalable, lasting impact.
Join leading voices from ocean science and finance for a dynamic session exploring how catalytic, systems-driven investment strategies can deliver both measurable impact and financial returns. Together, we’ll examine how targeted investments in key ocean systems can accelerate the transition from business as usual to a resilient, sustainable ocean economy.
Discover how a holistic approach — one that identifies and leverages systemic levers — can drive meaningful change for ocean health, planetary stability, and economic prosperity.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a new wave of ocean investment.
