Quais são as áreas-chave e respetivos planos de ação? Paralelamente, quais as dificuldades que podem prorrogar esta transição? O objetivo da presente investigação é o de analisar a Estratégia da UA para a Economia Azul, tendo como caso de estudo uma start-up guineense na área da aquacultura. Primeiramente, identificaremos o impacto socio-económico dos setores de Economia Azul em África, nomeadamente: (1) portos, (2) pesca, (3) aquacultura, (4) energia azul sustentável, (5) extração em profundidade, (6) petróleo e gás, e (7) carbono azul. De seguida, analisaremos as forças motrizes de transição para a Economia Azul, de acordo com a argumentação defendida pela UA, tais como a questão demográfica de África e o problema da oferta de energia (African Union - Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources, [AU-IBAR], 2020). Similarmente, identificaremos também os principais desafios económicos, logísticos e securitários.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract What are the African Union&#8217;s (AU) strategic guidelines for the Blue Economy? What are the main sectors and their respective action plans? What dificulties could delay this transition? The objective of this research is to analyse the AU&#8217;s Blue Economy Strategy, using a Guinean aquaculture start-up as a case study. We will begin by identifying the socio-economic impacts of the Blue Economy sectors in Africa, such as 1) ports, (2) fishing, (3) aquaculture, (4) sustainable blue energy, (5) deep sea mining, (6) oil and gas, and (7) blue carbon. Next, we will analyse the driving forces behind the transistion to the Blue Economy, according to the argumentation defended by the AU, such as Africa&#8217;s demographic issue and the problema of energy supply (African Union - Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources, [AU-IBAR], 2020). Similarly, we will also identify the main challenges: economically, logistically, and in terms of security.]]></p></abstract>
