event:
Offshore Renewable Energy and Climate-Smart MSP Roadmap Date: November 05, 2021
Place: Hybrid (Glasgow, United Kingdom & Online), -
Description of the event:
The ocean hosts a
wealth of climate change mitigation solutions, including offshore wind – but is
increasingly under pressure from different human activities. Climate-Smart
Marine Spatial Planning is a process with potential to reconcile clean energy’s
role in delivering decarbonization with biodiversity considerations, wider
Sustainable Development Goals, and ambitions of other marine users, including
fisheries, shipping and coastal tourism.
Join UN Global
Compact, the Global Wind Energy Council, and
the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC-UNESCO)
for the launch of the global ‘Roadmap to Integrate Offshore Renewable Energy in
a Climate-Smart Marine Spatial Plan’ – and hear from representatives of the
public sector, industry and international organizations on how robust spatial
planning processes can be key levers for successfully scaling-up ocean-based
climate change mitigation solutions.
This event will be
held from 11:30 to 13:00 (GMT) in hybrid format in the Wind Pavilion, Hall 5,
SEC Centre, Blue Zone, Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, UK. Livestreaming will
be available for those who are unable to attend in-person.
