Forum for Impact is partnering with Ocean Conservancy, the world’s leading ocean conservation organization.
Why does this matter to our community? Because the people in this network — family offices, philanthropists, and institutional investors — have the capital and the conviction to fund real climate solutions.
What’s been missing is a credible, science-backed pipeline into ocean finance. Now there is one.
“FFI’s dialogues are where trust is built, and capital decisions are made, and Ocean Conservancy’s track record gives investors the confidence to act.”
— Michael Meehan, Founder, Forum for Impact
This partnership will shape oceans programming across FFI’s global dialogue series, starting with the 2026 Caribbean Dialogue in The Bahamas, and extending into Banff and Toronto.
The collaboration will surface concrete mechanisms for directing capital toward marine biodiversity, coastal resilience, and ocean-based climate strategies.
The ocean finance gap is enormous. So is the opportunity for those who move first.
Focus areas include:
- Marine biodiversity
- Coastal resilience
- Ocean-based climate strategies
- Blue economy investment opportunities
- Science-backed ocean finance pathways
