The EU FP7 Sea for Society project addressed how the ocean’s tremendous opportunities can help us meet current and future societal needs whilst protecting the ocean for future generations. Through a dialogue with over 500 stakeholders concrete ideas were developed to improve human-ocean dynamics and address barriers to sustainability.
This EP event, organised in collaboration with the EP Intergroup on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development, will provide a platform to learn and exchange on how the concept of a Blue Society can become a reality through an open discussion among invited participants representing science, industry, policy-makers and civil society. Sectoral representatives, including youth, will use their own practical experience to explain how we can move towards a Blue Society by galvanizing its values within their own spheres of influence. The event will be an opportunity to exchange ideas and identify practical
strategies for the future. Organizations and individuals present will have the opportunity to sign a commitment to become champions of the Blue Society by committing to positive change in their own personal and professional activities.
