Description

SYSTEMIC TRANSFORMATIONS TO ADDRESS MARINE POLLUTION

BlueMisionMED. Spanish Hub Workshop at MARLICE 2024

The ambitious and broad goals set out by the Mission to Restore our Oceans and Waters by 2030 requires multi-scale actions spanning both natural and human systems. In this context, transformative and systemic transformation is needed to allow for the creation of new systems and models, promoting continuous dialogue between quadruple helix stakeholders, and therefore enabling the dynamic transformation of services and business models required to achieve the Mission Oceans and Waters objectives.

The Spanish HUB, as a territorial multistakeholder community tasked with implementing the activities and priorities of the Mission, is organizing its 2nd workshop. This workshop will introduce the concept of transformative change as a lever to achieve the Mission Oceans and Waters objectives, particularly focusing on marine and water pollution prevention. It aims to foster discussion among different types of stakeholders to gain a better understanding of what is still needed to unlock such transformations at Mediterranean level.
