Financing and Institutional Pathways for Effective Finance of Capacity-Building and Transfer of Marine Technology for BBNJ

Webinar Details

This multi-regional webinar explores how we design and finance the institutional architecture necessary to deliver on Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer (CBTMT) package of the BBNJ agreement. The discussion examined the financial mechanisms behind CBTMT, the evolving role of the Clearing-House Mechanism (ClHM), and the human element that connects policy to real-world impact. This session was moderated by Ms. Kalene Eck, and speakers and panelists included Ms. Arianne Etuk Johnson, Dr. Harriet Harden-Davies, and Mr. Jeremy Raguaian. 

This webinar is part of the project Capacity Building Initiative for SIDS: Early Ratification and Equitable Implementation of the BBNJ Agreement. The SIDS project is supported by the Bloomberg Ocean Initiative and Arcadia. ‘This initiative is part of a series of projects under a $10 million pledge from Bloomberg Philanthropies and nine other philanthropies to support developing nations with policy and technical capacity building assistance to accelerate ratification and early implementation of the treaty to  protect biodiversity in the world’s High Seas.’
