Beschreibung:

The Mission "Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030" will help achieve the marine and freshwater targets of the European Green Deal, such as protecting 30% of the EU’s sea area and restoring marine eco-systems and 25 000km of free-flowing rivers. With its 2030 target, the EU Mission "Restore our Ocean and Waters" aims to protect and restore the health of our ocean and waters through research and innovation, citizen engagement and blue investments. The Mission’s new approach will address the ocean and waters as one and play a key role in achieving climate neutrality and restoring nature.

As one of its objectives, the Mission will prevent and eliminate pollution by, for example, reducing plastic litter at sea, nutrient losses and use of chemical pesticides by 50% and it will also contribute to make the blue economy climate-neutral and circular with net-zero maritime emissions.

Cross-cutting enabling actions will support these objectives, in particular broad public mobilisation and engagement and a digital ocean and water knowledge system, known as Digital Twin Ocean.

 

The Forum will take stock of the first year of implementation of the Mission, showcasing the first portfolio of projects and actions to achieve the Mission’s objectives. The event will focus on the commitments to implement the Mission and illustrate concrete measures and actions to protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity, boost coastal resilience, eliminate pollution, and make the blue economy climate-neutral and circular, as well as recommend further necessary initiatives.

The Mission Forum will bring together key stakeholders to:

  • Generate broad buy-in for the Mission, gathering the first communities of actors and boosting further adhesions to the Mission Charter.
  • Mobilise actions and measures to contribute to 2030 targets, across the four lighthouses.
  • Showcase concrete examples of programmes and initiatives from Member States, regions, cities, and other stakeholders, and give visibility to the first projects portfolio supported by EU programmes.
The registration is now open: https://icfnext.swoogo.com/MissionForum2023
