Publication of 9th EMB Forum Proceedings

The 9th EMB Forum Proceedings were published today and provide a summary of the discussions that took place in Brussels and online on 2 April 2025, along with key messages. In light of the new European Water Resilience Strategy and Ocean Pact, and the ongoing objectives of the EU Mission: Restore our Ocean and Waters (Mission Ocean), and the challenges of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade), it was timely to focus on the land-sea interface.

The 9th EMB Forum focused on "Addressing coastal and water resilience on the land-sea interface" and explored different aspects at the land-sea interface, including policy and governance, transboundary pollution, and coastal adaptation and livability. Over 100 participants from Europe and further afield engaged both online and in person, representing academia, early career researchers, policymakers, industry, and NGOs. Experts gave presentations and participated in panel discussions with audience interaction. Full recordings of the sessions are available on the EMB YouTube Channel and you can find out more about the discussions on social media via #EMBForum.

The main discussion points and key messages emerging from the 9th Forum are presented in the 9th EMB Forum Proceedings which can be downloaded here.
