Knowledge-based climate-smart maritime spatial planning for ocean sustainable development

Venue: Sea Hub / Charles Darwin, Parc de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona 

Date: 9th of April, Time: 17.00-19.00

Climate-smart maritime spatial planning (MSP) should integrate international objectives: EU Green Deal, biodiversity strategies, SDGs and cooperation agreements, such as the Belem Statement. MSP must rely on multi-disciplinary research and address the science-to-policy interface in an understandable way for policy makers and the general public. Experts from six EU projects (MSP-GREEN, REGINA-MSP, MSP-OR, ReMAP, eMSP-NBSR and MSP4BIO) and Ministry of Environment (Brazil) will introduce this concept to the wider ocean research community, expanding discussions started in the MSP4BIO Science-Policy Think Tank in a moderated fishbowl conversation. A booth and the use of sli.do will enhance interaction with the public.

This event is part of the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference ‘Delivering the science we need for the ocean we want’, that will bring together the Ocean Decade community and partners to celebrate achievements and set joint priorities for the future of the Decade. It will take place on 10-12 April 2024 in Barcelona, Spain.
