Successful Baltic Sea Action Summit?

Baltic Sea Action Summit aimed to be “an everyday bee”, where everyone could participate by making a commitment and where each commitment was considered to be an important step towards healthier Baltic Sea. In this sense, Baltic Sea Action Summit was a success! It gained immense 140 public and private commitments and gathered an authoritative group of participants in Helsinki. Especially private sector showed its enthusiasm for the Baltic Sea protection bee, whereas governmental commitments remain pale.

Fore more information about the commitments see the Summit’s webpage.

Probalt in Brief

The PROBALT project aims to make the prevention of the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea more effective by 1) analyzing the societal conditions for the effective protection of the Baltic Sea at three levels: national level, regional level and the European Union level; 2) providing tools to more effectively combat eutrophication; 3) increasing national concern about the state of the Baltic Sea in individual countries.
