Our Baltic Sea

The Baltic Sea is one of the most fragile and polluted marine areas, particularly affected by eutrophication and climate change. Invasive species and increasing maritime traffic also pose a threat to the biodiversity and security of the sea area. The Baltic Sea is also a key connecting factor and environment for the countries, businesses and people who operate around it.

We work multidisciplinarily for a better future for the Baltic Sea Region.

Our Baltic Sea is one of our four strategic themes.
