In May 2021, The European Commission launched a new plan for sustainability in coastal and ocean industries 鈥� known as the blue economy 鈥� calling for them to join forces in the fight against climate change. 鈥淲e should join forces, be creative and find solutions to preserve the health of the oceans and sea,鈥� said EU Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevi膷ius when the plan was published. His goal is 鈥渢o unite all groups, all sectors, around a single vision. We want all blue economy players to align themselves to the same principles, replacing unchecked expansion with clean, climate-proof and sustainable activities that tread lightly on the marine environment.鈥� The blue economy is a growing industry with a turnover of over 鈧�650 billion, which provides almost 5 million direct jobs to EU citizens. The plan lays out a vision for it to become circular and less polluting as Europe aims to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

In this conversation, the EU Commissioner will lay out the Commission鈥檚 vision for the future of the EU member states that are directly involved in the Blue Economy.
