Recipient: Blue Action Lab
BCI is pleased to help support the Blue Action Lab, which has officially launched on the beautiful island of Grand Bahama. The Blue Action Lab brings together leading innovators, entrepreneurs, and researchers to turn the tide on climate change. Led by a global team of experts in the fields of impact finance, sustainable development, and environmental science, the Blue Action Lab is finalizing its first cohort of companies to pilot critical technologies in coastal resilience and ocean innovation. These solutions will not only help revitalize the economy of Grand Bahama after devastation from Hurricane Dorian and the global pandemic, but will also provide viable models for climate change resiliency to serve frontline communities, vulnerable coastlines, and vital marine ecosystems around the world. Offering streamlined permitting processes and access to coastal environments for solution testing and implementation, the Blue Action Lab empowers entrepreneurs and innovators to turn their urgently needed ideas for coastal climate resilience solutions into reality.
