European Commission | The EU Blue Economy Report 2020

The EU Blue Economy Report seeks to continuously improve the measuring and monitoring of the socio economic impact of the Blue Economy, without disregarding the environmental implications. As the European Union embarks on the new European Green Deal1, the need to ensure that all angles are being considered becomes more and more evident so economic growth and employment go hand in hand with protecting and restoring nature and fighting climate change.. The Report should be seen as a tool to support relevant initiatives and policies under the new European Green Deal, which aims at implementing the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda by putting “sustainability and the well-being of citizens at the centre of economic policy and the sustainable development at the heart of the EU’s policymaking and action”
