The mission in this area is called Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030.
Man-made, climate-driven changes are putting our ocean and waters and consequently our societies at a serious risk.
The mission’s new, systemic approach will address the ocean and waters as one and play a key role in achieving climate neutrality and restoring nature.
The mission will help achieve the EU objectives of protecting 30% of the EUs sea area as well as restoring marine eco-systems and 25.000 km of free flowing rivers, prevent and eliminate pollution by reducing plastic litter at sea, nutrient losses and use of chemical pesticides by 50% and make the blue economy climate-neutral and circular with net-zero maritime emissions.
