The fourth Mission Arena in Sopot, Poland, brought together 200+ stakeholders from the South Baltic region to discuss in 17+ workshops what is needed to turn the blue economy carbon-neutral, circular and more secure, while reducing pollution and increasing biodiversity. The event centred on the following seven themes important to the region: MSP and Multi-Use, Marine Protection and Restoration, Citizen Engagement and Education, Blue Foods, Governance, Sustainable Maritime Infrastructure, and Shipping and Ports.
BlueMissionBANOS organised the Arena in cooperation with the Blue Economy Baltic Forum and the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership under the patronage of the Polish EU Council Presidency.
The roadmap consolidates the insights and priorities identified during the event, offering actionable guidance for the upcoming deployment phase of Mission Ocean and Waters. The action points in this roadmap were developed through an interactive co-creation process. The participants of the fourth Mission Arena voted on the order of their priorities in the final plenary session.
