The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) suggests that many ocean-based industries have the potential to outperform the growth of the global economy as a whole, in terms of:
TheBlue Economy and Natural Resourcessection of the OTM cites the OECD’s “Ocean Economy in 2030” report:
“The OECD estimates thatocean-based industriessuch as shipping, offshore wind, and aquaculture couldoutperform global GDP growth rates by 2030, contributing strongly toboth value added and employment.”
This dual benefit arises from technological innovation, renewable energy expansion, and sustainable fisheries management. The manual highlights that marine sectors not only drive economic productivity but also generate millions of jobs globally, aligning with SDG 14 (“Life Below Water”).
Therefore,option Cis correct, as the OECD’s analysis explicitly references both economic (value added) and social (employment) dimensions.
