In the framework of COP27, and with the participation of a wide range of Mediterranean Sustainable Blue Economy (SBE) actors and stakeholders, the UfM is organizing a Side Event on the Sustainable Blue Economy in the Mediterranean ‘A rising tide which lifts all boats’.

Advancing Sustainable Blue Economy at Mediterranean level requires joint and concerted actions. The Side Event will bring together an exemplary representation of the large and dynamic Mediterranean SBE Community, highlighting key initiatives and projects relevant to capacity building, research, innovation, investment, and the private sector among others, directly contributing to addressing climate change and accelerating the transition towards carbon-neutral and circular economies, in line with the priorities of the 2021 UfM SBE Ministerial Declaration on Sustainable Blue Economy.
