UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability- Blue Prosperity Program

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in partnership with the Waitt Foundation is undertaking research to support the growth of blue economies in developing islands. The objective is to create a suite of resources that can help advise islands as they sustainably use their natural resources to improve their economic performance. Analysis will initially be focused on a few pilot locations but with the long-term goal of producing evaluation methodologies and recommendations with broader applicability. Researchers from the business, law, public affairs and environment programs are participating; more information is available at: www.ioes.ucla.edu/blueprosperity
