About us

The Blue Bond Accelerator (BBA) is a global not-for-profit initiative dedicated to unlocking the potential of the blue bond market to finance ocean and coastal resilience. By combining technical assistance, market expertise, and risk mitigation strategies, we empower issuers, investors, and policymakers to develop financial solutions that protect and restore aquatic ecosystems.

Our Vision & Mission

We aim to catalyse long-term, additional investment from global fixed-income markets into regenerative and sustainable blue economies, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. Through financial innovation and strategic partnerships, we work to strengthen aquatic ecosystems, boost economic resilience, and support communities whose livelihoods depend on a healthy ocean.

Incubated By

ORRAA, the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance, brings together the finance and insurance sectors, governments, communities, and civil society to drive investment in coastal and ocean resilience, particularly in the Global South. Through its Sea Change Impact Financing Facility (SCIFF), ORRAA aims to mobilise at least $1 billion in private investment by 2030 to support nature-based solutions that strengthen economic, social, and environmental resilience. Incubated within SCIFF, the BBA is one of ORRAA's flagship initiatives, helping to grow an investable pipeline of financial products and policies that build a regenerative and sustainable blue economy for people and the planet.

ORRAA and the development of the BBA are supported by the Paul M. Angell Foundation.
