Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

UN Ocean Decade Midway Review and the Impact of the BBNJ Treaty
Q: Could you explain the significance of the BBNJ treaty and what makes it a game changer for ocean governance?
The treaty is a major instrument for managing biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction. Its importance lies in setting up environmental impact assessments, protecting marine biodiversity, and ensuring capacity development and technology transfer to enable more equitable participation in high-seas activities. Its ultimate impact depends on robust implementation, not just signing, with practical arrangements for governance, data, and how shipping routes are managed within new protected areas.
Research-Industry Collaboration in Ocean Protection
Q: What is the role of local communities in these projects?
Local communities are involved as part of the living lab concept, ensuring the results are understood and can benefit those living near coastal areas, which is seen as essential for sustainable development.
Research-Industry Collaboration in Ocean Protection
Q: How do the missions within the alliance operate with industry and other stakeholders?
The missions are co-designed with researchers, industry, and civil society, using a living feedback loop through stakeholder forums and external advisory boards to ensure research remains practical and aligned with societal and policy needs.
Research-Industry Collaboration in Ocean Protection
Q: What was the idea behind the alliance and why was it created?
The alliance was founded in 2019 by the federal government and five northern states to strengthen and coordinate marine research in Germany, consolidating expertise under one umbrella to address biodiversity loss, climate impacts, and sustainable use of the seas.
European Maritime Industrial Strategy
Q: Is the maritime industry still strategically important for Europe in the 21st century?
Yes, it is strategically important and increasingly recognized as essential, with growing awareness of its role in national security, economic resilience, and industrial capability.
