Abstract The billions invested annually in marine climate adaptation, blue economy related development, and conservation projects in the Global South can address, or reinforce, pre-existing contextual inequities. Concurrently, contextual inequities can also undermine the effectiveness and outcomes of externally-funded projects. Here we developed a composite index of contextual inequity and assessed the distribution and equity of 35,440 coastal and marine projects across 84 countries.

Here we present the Ocean Equity Index (OEI)—a framework for assessing and improving equity in ocean initiatives, projects and policies. We apply the index, which scores twelve criteria, to case studies at local, national and global scales.
