Approximately 23% of the world's ocean floor had been mapped to a resolution of at least 100 meters. This information comes from the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project, an initiative aimed at mapping the entire ocean floor by 2030. The resolution of sea floor mapping can vary widely, with some areas, particularly those of interest for navigation, scientific research, or resource exploration, mapped at much higher resolutions, sometimes down to 1 meter or less. However, the vast majority of the deep ocean remains mapped at much coarser resolutions, if at all, due to the immense challenges and costs associated with deep-sea mapping. These efforts are part of a broader scientific and exploration initiative that recognizes the importance of understanding our ocean's floor for reasons ranging from navigation safety, climate change modeling, biodiversity conservation, and the sustainable management of marine resources. The Seabed 2030 Project is a collaborative effort that pools data from various sources, including academic institutions, government agencies, and private sector entities, to improve our understanding of the ocean floor's topography. Progress is ongoing, and the coverage and resolution are expected to improve as technology advances and more resources are dedicated to this endeavor.

♻ During the #RIDaysEU, it has been highlighted that the Regional Innovation Valleys are a potential framework for other ecosystem programmes (e.g. the H2 Valleys). 🤝 A.SPIRE's Executive Director, Angels Orduna tends the hand for collaboration with the Regional Innovation Valleys to make the connection with the #Hubs4Circularity, - essential socio-technological ecosystems to deliver the #GreenTransition and reach the net zero-waste regions goals. 🌍 For Processes4Planet Partnership, #H4Cs are a widespread reality to reach zero-waste regions thanks to the collaboration with the #EnergyIntensiveIndustries 🏭.

This year's #ECoCFamily meeting is hosted jointly by the three #ECoC2024 cities, in Tartu. The ECoC Family Forum is dedicated to the Future of the European Capital of Culture programme & proposes three key topics - "Dark Bidbooks, Bright Programmes", on the increasing presence of difficult topics, dark heritage, conflict, challenges and local difficulties as justification for the need to host an ECoC - ECoC as a motor for change. - "The Capital is Dead… Long Live the Region!" , touching on the growing importance and visibility of regions as key to the success - and legacy - of ECoC programmes. - "Huge Shows. Modest Budgets", where I will be the keynote, debating the remarkable contrast between the iconic interventions, grand narratives and major expectations generated by ECoCs and the tight - often shrinking - resources available to make this happen.

Some thoughts from my panel intervention "Happy coexistence with nature, citizens, and fisheries?"at the Annual Event  #WindEurope2024 in Bilbao. As someone deeply involved in pushing for a fast, fair, and nature-friendly #renewableenergy acceleration through my work with Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe, the discussion was close to my heart. It’s clear that if we want to see the massive volumes of wind energy 🌬 getting off the ground, we need to bring 💚 local communities into the heart of the conversation. Key takeaways: 🤝 Engaging with Communities: It's about real conversations and genuine dialogue, understanding local needs and concerns, and acting on them. Developers must move beyond viewing communities as obstacles or mere stakeholders to be informed, towards seeing them as active partners in planning, developing, and sharing the benefits of wind energy projects. 💬 Being Fair, Open, and Inclusive: It is about early, transparent, and honest communication. Communities must have a say in projects that affect their lives and must be provided with opportunities to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes, including the location, planning, and development of these projects. 💪 The Power of Community Ownership: When communities can own and co-invest, they see the tangible benefits of wind projects and cherish the projects with pride. These projects do more than just generate power, they EMPOWER communities by ensuring economic benefits are retained locally and foster broad support for the energy transition. Reflecting on the discussions we had, I'm reminded that at the core of our climate action efforts, it is the peoples participation and their empowerment what truly drive meaningful change. As we continue transforming our societies and economies towards a climate neutral Europe, fully powered by #renewableenergy, let's ensure that every step we take also builds stronger, more resilient communities along the way. #TogetherFor100RE Mattia Cecchinato Ariel Brunner Guy Willems WindEurope https://lnkd.in/eRqQAH-y

📣🌊The Ocean Pitch Challenge is back for its fourth edition! Our Coalition is proud to be among the partners and jury of this great challenge created by RespectOcean and Sustainable Ocean Alliance. The call for applications will be open until February 29th, 2024. 10 applications will be selected for the Grand Finale by a jury of international Blue Economy experts (including our very own Vincent Doumeizel) and will be announced on April 4th, 2024. These 10 selected solutions will receive pitch coaching until the Grand Finale, which will take place in a hybrid format on May 28th, 2024 (in Paris and online). During their registration, candidates have the option to indicate their eligibility for the special prize of the Global Seaweed Coalition. Our team will select the best solution among candidates, and provide strategic support within the seaweed ecosystem.
