Launch Event: Roadmap to Integrate Clean Offshore Renewable Energy into Climate-Smart Marine Spatial Planning

The ocean hosts a wealth of climate change mitigation solutions, including offshore wind, but is increasingly under pressure from different human activities. Climate-Smart Marine Spatial Planning is a process with potential to reconcile clean energy's role in delivering decarbonisation with biodiversity considerations, wider Sustainable Development Goals, and ambitions of other marine users, including fisheries, shipping and coastal tourism.

Join the Carbon Trust, UN Global Compact, Global Wind Energy Council, IOC-UNESCO and more to hear how robust spatial planning processes can be key levers for successfully scaling-up ocean-based climate change mitigation solutions.
