Scaling up marine nature conservation and climate solutions

Oceans contribute significantly to the storage of carbon dioxide. This requires an intact natural environment in the oceans so that seagrass meadows, algae and mangroves can absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. In addition, the oceans are increasingly being used to generate renewable energy, particularly through offshore wind power. This must also be done in an environmentally friendly way. This event aims to highlight financial and practical solutions for marine nature conservation and the environmentally friendly use of wind power at sea.

The event will open with remarks by the Secretary General of the German Federal Environmental Foundation (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt), followed by a keynote by the German Federal Minister for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. The event continues with a panel discussion including a Q&A with on-site and virtual participants. .
