MISSION STARFISH 2030 – KNOW, RESTORE AND PROTECT
OUR OCEAN AND WATERS
Mission Healthy Ocean, Seas, Coastal and Inland Waters
The Mission issued the first draft on Horizon challenges in water management.
The Mission “Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters” aims to know, restore and protect our ocean and waters by 2030, by reducing human pressures on marine and freshwater environments, restoring degraded ecosystems and sustainably harnessing the essential goods and services they provide. Protection and conservation efforts must address the entire integrated ocean and water system in a holistic fashion if they are to succeed. Inspired by the shape of the starfish, the Mission pursues five interdependent objectives – knowledge, regeneration, depollution, decarbonisation and governance – uniting overall 17 ambitious, concrete and measurable targets for 2030.
The main challenges are:
- Filling the knowledge and emotional gap
- Regenerating marine and water ecosystems
- Zero pollution
- Decarbonising our waters
- Revamping governance
Are they motivating?
Are you concerned about cancer, climate change, about having a greener city or healthy soil and oceans? Do you want your voice heard?
