On 4 June 2025 (15:15-16:30) Ruben Eiras (WestMED Portugal/ Forum Oceano) will take place in a panel on Maritime Cooperation — Safeguarding the Blue Economy and Marine Biodiversity: “Navigating the Blue Horizon: Strengthening Maritime Partnerships for a Resilient Mediterranean”
As maritime regions face increasing environmental and security challenges, this session will explore collaborative solutions for sustainable blue growth and maritime security. Inspired by the EU’s vision for a strong, secure, and climate-resilient Europe, key topics include:
- Decarbonizing Maritime Transport: Green fuels, smart ports, and circular economy practices for sustainable shipping.
- Marine Ecosystem Protection: Policies to combat pollution, protect biodiversity, and restore marine habitats.
- Regional Maritime Security: Strengthening cooperation to secure trade routes and mitigate climate-induced risks.
- Blue Growth Fund (UfM): Showcasing financing mechanisms to support innovative projects for sustainable maritime adaptation and growth.
With more than 20 events and 5000 participants, Circle the MED aims to bring together policymakers, political and business leaders, experts and key stakeholders to engage in an interactive dialogue on the urgent need to accelerate the green transition towards climate neutrality and resilience in the Mediterranean.
Circle the MED provides a unique opportunity to share experiences and best practices on new governance models and the application of the European Green Deal in our societies, while exploring innovative ways to work together towards a more inclusive, sustainable and circular future for the broader Mediterranean, as well as South-East Europe and the Black Sea region.
