WWF and CCB webinar: Can offshore wind go hand in hand with marine protection and restoration in the Baltic Sea?

Registration is open for our next webinar ‘Can offshore wind go hand in hand with marine protection and restoration in the Baltic Sea?’ taking place 25 September 2023 at 15:00-16:00 CET.

The webinar, hosted in collaboration with CCB, will focus on the expansion of renewable energy in the region is a clear step in the right direction to reduce our use of oil and gas and address the climate crisis. In the case of offshore renewable energy, this is quickly expanding in the Baltic Sea, with many nations securing deals to introduce and increase projects for wind farm development in the coming years. How can Baltic countries live up to climate and offshore wind ambitions that are aligned and allow the fulfilment of commitments to protect our natural world?

This year, the health of our marine life and the potential for offshore wind to provide clean and sustainable electricity and deliver energy security have been brought into sharp focus. Yet, what does research tell us about the cumulative impacts of offshore renewables on valuable and already compromised marine and bird life? How will efforts to restore the Baltic Sea to reduce eutrophication and face biodiversity loss be impacted? This webinar brings together experts from different sectors to explore the linkage between offshore renewable energy, marine protection and restoration.

The outline and agenda will be made available upon registration.

This is the second in a series of webinars that the WWF Baltic Sea Programme has hosted in collaboration with Coalition Clean Baltic, covering topics around the expansion of offshore wind and impacts on nature in the Baltic Sea. Reach our NGO guidelines on offshore renewable energy.
