“Our Goal” Goal 14: Life in Water – Protect and sustainably use oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
In more detail, the participants emphasized the importance of quality education in order to inform and educate about adaptation actions to deal with climate change, they focused on the Innovation factor to find solutions such as alternative fuels and reducing pollutants for the purpose of sustainable industry , as well as in the transformation of buildings into “green” ones.
At the same time, they highlighted the importance of reducing inequalities within countries and transnationally, as climate change reinforces their existence, and underlined the need for long-term policies and investments aimed at the social inclusion of vulnerable populations.
Finally, they also focused on the importance of protecting marine biodiversity and the development of international partnerships for the protection of areas outside national jurisdiction.
We would like to thank Sustainable WE for organising and running the workshop, VIOS for hosting us in their wonderful space, and the OCEANKING team for the participation!
