7.00 pm - Workshop: Change the climate Change the
sea
The sea is an extraordinary testament to what is happening on our planet and is playing a key role in what is happening to it. Pollution and overexploitation of the seas and oceans cause an increasing number of issues, such as the acute threat to species diversity, acidification of the seas and the increase in plastic waste. In addition to fishing and the industrial exploitation of marine resources, climate change is also causing extra pressure on the ecosystems. The ever-increasing global population will be even more dependent on marine resources in the future.
Goal 14 aims to significantly reduce all types of marine pollution by 2030 and to reduce ocean acidification to a minimum. Marine and coastal ecosystems will need to be managed and protected sustainably, and fishing will need to be regulated effectively.

SATURDAY 1st - EARLY EVENING

6 pm workshop: The Economy of the
Sea
The Blue Economy acts by revolutionising activities such as
fishing, construction and maritime transport, seaside tourism and
more. The Blue Economy model aims to create a sustainable economic
system through technological innovation and the development of
physical principles.
The most technologically advanced fields of application of Blue thinking involve producing renewable energy obtained from the sea, and from off-shore wind power to floating photovoltaic panels. Wind and thermal energy from waves and tides could generate a quarter of the EU electricity in 2050. Equally important is the bioeconomy, involving fish and algae production and biotechnologies.
Below these there is a vast array of activities related to the marine sector such as sustainable fishing, port activities, seaside tourism and the entire naval sector. The European Commission is actually proposing to renew the standards for recycling ships, dismantling mining platforms and designing fishing equipment.
Each of these activities certainly cannot ignore their commitment to preserve the marine ecosystem, which is why other sectors involved in the Blue Economy identified by the European Union include the preservation of living and non-living marine biodiversity, responsible fishing and conscious coastal tourism.
The Blue Economy is therefore set up as an evolutionary branch of the green economy.

6.00 pm - Workshop: The Stories that Change the Sea
The aim of the workshop is to convey a message as simple as it is fundamental: there can be no transition towards a new model of environmental, economic and social development without a powerful cultural change. The role that each of us can have on a daily basis in building a better future is just as important as the overall policies and strategies put in place by institutions and companies on a global scale. During the evening, we will tell these stories: the tales of people and experiences who, with their actions and behaviour, have "changed the sea", whether in a big or small way.
