Public consultation on sustainable blue economy open for contributions until 7 December 2020

The European Commission started a public consultation in October. The goal is to aid economic recovery and tackle climate change, by promoting sustainable products and services – e.g. marine renewable energy – that preserve the marine environment and maintain ocean health.

This initiative will identify ways to make the EU’s ‘blue economy’ more sustainable, in line with the European Green Deal.

The blue economy covers all economic activities related to seas and coasts (e.g. shipping & ports, fisheries & aquaculture, coastal tourism).

The goal is to aid economic recovery and tackle climate change, by promoting sustainable products and services – e.g. marine renewable energy – that preserve the marine environment and maintain ocean health.

The online feedback form is open and the EC shows real interest in input from local and regional authorities. ​ It will result in a communication planned for 2021. ​ ​​​NAT commission invites Members and stakeholders to take part in the initiative. ​
