Greening the Future: Leveraging Fintech for Sustainable Blue Economy Investments
摘要
This study examines the ways in which fintech solutions such as blockchain, AI-powered risk assessment, and digital payment platforms can spur long-term investments in blue economy industries like coastal tourism, marine energy, and fisheries. The integration of fintech tools in promoting financial inclusion and risk reduction in green investments is investigated using a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative data analysis and literature reviews. This chapter offers policymakers, investors, and entrepreneurs’ practical insights by highlighting successful implementations and tackling issues including technology and regulatory constraints. Fintech's revolutionary role in bringing financial systems into line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN, especially SDG 14 (Life Below Water), is highlighted in the conclusion.
