National Initiatives
for countries and islands
Governments set the stage in their countries or regions, providing the framework for economic development. The right kind of incentives can turn whole nations “blue”.
While Blue Economy® innovations have been implemented on many islands, from Fiji to El Hierro in the Canaries, the first entire country to focus its economic development on Blue Economy® is Bhutan. Over the next years, 36 innovations will be implemented in this Himalayan state – a draft plan was published by the Ministry of Economy here.
An open letter has been published showing the international support for the government's efforts to this effect. This will shortly lead to the creation of a GNH Fund, directing foreign investments into building Bhutan's 'blue' economy. Individuals who instead wish to donate towards the same goals can do so via the Tarayana Foundation Trust.
