A broad group of actors needs to be part of this discussion to take the next steps for nature and security.

Utökad information om evenemanget

The Baltic region is facing times of unsecurity and crisis and is exposed to growing geopolitical tensions, once again claiming the Baltic Sea as a stage for international politics. This is mainly discussed as a defence or broader societal challenge with limited involvement of experts on ecosystems and the Baltic Sea. In recent years, aside from geopolitical significance, the Baltic is also known as one of the most environmentally vulnerable seas and its high commercial activity, through heavy shipping traffic and a significant portion of worlds commercial shipping. In addition, the Baltic is still bearing the burden of past political conflicts. In this seminar we will discuss the interlinkages between nature, security and resilience in the Baltic Sea region.
