Strategies for cost-effective marine restoration in the Nordics

The Nordic Council of Ministers’ Working Group for Environment and Economy (NME) and HELCOM invite you to a webinar on cost-effective marine restoration. 

This event will focus on strategies to restore marine ecosystems in the Nordic region, presenting insights from leading environmental organizations in this field.

With growing political focus on marine environments—particularly in light of the new EU regulation on nature restoration—understanding the socio-economic implications and costs of marine restoration measures has become essential.

Join leading experts, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the costs associated with various restoration efforts. These initiatives not only enhance biodiversity and provide natural coastal defenses but also contribute significantly to climate change mitigation. However, comparing costs across regions remains a key challenge.

Through case studies from across the Nordic region, we’ll explore cost estimates, discuss approaches to meeting the EU’s ambitious restoration goals, and examine methodologies for evaluating the economic implications of these efforts. This event aims to foster collaboration, identify knowledge gaps, and advance unified methods for assessing costs and socio-economic impacts of marine restoration across the region.

When: 4 December, 09:00-12:00 CET  

Where: Hybrid (presenters in-person, attendees online)

Audience: Aimed at researchers, policymakers, environmental economists, and marine restoration practitioners, and anyone else interested.

Join us for a pivotal conversation on developing sustainable, cost-effective approaches to protect and restore the invaluable Nordic marine environment.
