The UWI, UNDP join forces to promote Blue Economy
Responding to the challenges
Caribbean islands are facing
when it comes to sustainable
use of marine resources,
including impacts on oceanrelated
sectors, such as fisheries,
research, tourism, and
on maritime transport infrastructure,
The University of the
West Indies (The UWI) and the
United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) signed a
Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) on Friday, Sept. 21,
2019 to support governments
in the creation of public policies
to diversify their economies
while ensuring inclusive
growth and sustainable development.
Contained within the MoU,
the Blue Economy proposal is a
paradigm shift that coordinates
sectors instead of creating silos,
promotes more integrated
approaches to marine management
and delivers structural
funding, innovation, capacity
building, and other changes
that improve the management
of Small Islands Development
States’ (SIDS) maritime space
and related sectors.
It was signed by The UWI
Vice-Chancellor, Professor
Sir Hilary Beckles, and UNDP
Regional Director for Latin
America and the Caribbean,
Dr. Luis Felipe López Calva.
This joint venture will provide
Caribbean governments and
other public entities commissioned

technical assistance on critical
development challenges that
can have catalytic impact in
the region.
Vice-Chancellor Beckles said,
“The Caribbean Sea, around
which approximately 115 million
people live, accounts for
1 percent of the global ocean
area and 14 percent of the
global ocean economy. Partnership
on the Blue Economy
is therefore significant for our
region. The UWI continues
to demonstrate that universities
must play a unique role
in advancing the 2030 global
development agenda as drivers
of knowledge, innovation
and development solutions. As
an activist university, we take
this role seriously, with particular
responsibility for climate
action given the vulnerability
of our region. The impact of
our efforts however, will only
be as strong as our partnerships
with international players,
so we will continue to
create and promote opportunities
like these to advance this
agenda.”
“UNDP is proud to join forces
with The University of West
Indies and reaffirm its commitment
to support Caribbean
countries effectively leverage
their ocean and coastal assets
for economic and social development.
This is not a pie in the
sky, but rather very specific
and concrete commitment to
contribute in the implementation
of the SAMOA Pathway
and the SDG Agenda,” said
UN Assistant Secretary-General
and UNDP Regional Director
for Latin America and the
Caribbean, Luis Felipe López
Calva.
