Transformative ocean governance and just transitions towards a sustainable blue economy

Transformative ocean governance (TOG) is an innovative approach to managing the world's oceans that aims to balance economic development with environmental sustainability, social equity, and cultural values. It involves a shift from the traditional top-down management style to a more inclusive and participatory approach that involves all stakeholders, including local communities, indigenous peoples, and civil society. The future of TOG is likely to involve a number of key trends and developments, including greater recognition of the importance of the ocean, integrated approaches to ocean governance, use of new technologies, strengthened international cooperation and increased focus on economically viable sustainable development.
