Pillars
Comparative
The total rankings tab reveals the efficiency of the examined
economies relative to one another and aggregates scores generated
throughout the next 4 pillars: ocean setting, marine exercise,
expertise innovation, and coverage and regulation.
This pillar ranks every nation in accordance with its ranges of
marine water contamination, its plastic recycling efforts, the
CO2 emissions of its marine actions (relative to the scale
of its financial system), and the latest change of whole emissions.
This pillar ranks every nation on the sustainability of its
marine actions, together with transport, fishing, and guarded
areas.
This pillar ranks every nation on its contribution to ocean
sustainable expertise analysis and improvement, together with
expenditure, patents, and startups.
This pillar ranks every nation on its stance on ocean
sustainability-related coverage and regulation, together with
national-level insurance policies, taxes, charges, and subsidies, and the
implementation of worldwide marine regulation.

Methodology: The Blue Technology Barometer 2022/23
Now in its second 12 months, the Blue Technology Barometer assesses and ranks how every of the world’s largest
maritime economies promotes and develops blue (marine-centered) applied sciences that assist reverse the influence of
local weather change on ocean ecosystems, and the way they leverage ocean-based sources to cut back greenhouse gases and
different results of local weather change.
To construct the index, MIT Technology Review Insights compiled 20 quantitative and qualitative information indicators
for 66 international locations and territories with coastlines and maritime economies. This included evaluation of choose
datasets and first analysis interviews with international blue expertise innovators, policymakers, and
worldwide ocean sustainability organizations. Through development evaluation, analysis, and a consultative
peer-review course of with a number of material specialists, weighting assumptions have been assigned to find out the
relative significance of every indicator’s affect on a rustic’s blue expertise management.
These indicators measure how every nation or territory’s financial and maritime industries have affected its
marine setting and the way rapidly they’ve developed and deployed applied sciences that assist enhance ocean
well being outcomes. Policy and regulatory adherence components have been thought of, significantly the observance of
worldwide treaties on fishing and marine safety legal guidelines.
The indicators are organized into 4 pillars, which consider metrics round a sustainability theme. Each
indicator is scored from 1 to 10 (10 being one of the best efficiency) and is weighted for its contribution to its
respective pillar. Each pillar is weighted to find out its significance within the total rating. As these analysis
efforts middle on international locations growing blue expertise to advertise ocean well being, the expertise pillar is
ranked highest, at 50% of the general rating.
The 4 pillars of the Blue Technology Barometer are:
Carbon emissions ensuing from maritime actions and their relative development. Metrics on this pillar additionally
assess every nation’s efforts to mitigate ocean air pollution and improve ocean ecosystem well being.
Efforts to advertise sustainable fishing actions and improve and keep marine protected areas.
Progress in fostering the event of sustainable ocean applied sciences throughout a number of related fields:
- Clean innovation scores from MIT Technology Review Insights’ Green Future Index 2022.
- A tally of maritime-relevant patents and expertise startups.
- An evaluation of every financial system’s use of applied sciences and tech-enabled processes that facilitate ocean
sustainability.
Commitment to signing and implementing worldwide treaties to advertise ocean sustainability and implement
sustainable fishing.
