An estimated 10-20 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean every year, endangering over 700 species of marine life and resulting in about $13B in annual losses to the marine ecosystems. How can we protect our ocean, which provides us with more than 50% of the oxygen we breathe and at least $2.5 trillion in goods and services every year? Do investible solutions exist which can combat this problem at scale? What role can impact investing and philanthropy play?
Join Confluence for a webinar discussion where Mark Spalding (President, The Ocean Foundation), Bridget Croke (VP of External Affairs, Closed Loop Fund), Conrad MacKerron (Senior Vice President, As You Sow), and Angela Howe (Legal Director, Surfrider Foundation) shed light on the magnitude of the issue and talk about possible solutions.
