Description du projet
Adopter une approche globale pour lutter contre la pollution marine
La réduction de la pollution des eaux est une priorité absolue en Europe. Les efforts visant à préserver la santé et à assurer la propreté des mers peuvent contribuer à protéger les différents services écosystémiques dont nous sommes tributaires, comme la régulation du climat et l’approvisionnement en nourriture. Le projet SOS-ZEROPOL2030, financé par l’UE, vise à apporter une contribution significative à ces efforts. À cette fin, il élaborera un cadre global visant à atteindre l’objectif «zéro pollution» dans les mers européennes à l’horizon 2030. Ce cadre fournira des orientations pratiques de la source à la mer et remédiera aux lacunes dans le domaine de la gestion de la pollution marine. Qui plus est, il permettra de gagner une meilleure compréhension des obstacles existants en matière de prévention, de réduction, d’atténuation et de surveillance de la pollution marine des mers européennes.
Objectif
The overall aim of 'Source to Seas - Zero Pollution 2030 (SOS-ZEROPOL2030)' is to develop a holistic zero pollution framework which can guide the process towards achieving zero pollution in European seas by 2030. Marine contamination (including pollution) occurs as a direct result of human activities on both; land and in the marine environment; and requires urgent attention as healthy and clean seas provide numerous ecosystem services (e.g. food, oxygen production, climate regulation), which are critical for our survival and wellbeing. Given the complex and interconnected nature of marine pollution, the integration of sustainability-focused agendas and circular economy principles and practices is essential for the development of effective actions that can address its impacts. The implementation of processes and measures to reduce marine pollution will have consequences for numerous economic sectors (e.g. agriculture, fisheries, food and beverage industry, waste management, packaging industry, tourism, offshore energy) at multiple scales (local, national, regional and international), framing marine pollution as a considerable global socio-economic challenge that requires active collaboration from multiple stakeholders, across a range of geographic areas. In this context SOS-ZEROPOL2030 aims to co-design, co-produce, and co-deliver a stakeholder lead European Seas zero-pollution framework that provides practical guidance from source to sea addressing shortcomings in marine pollution management and governance. This holistic approach is based on best practice, puts emphasis on human behaviour, socioeconomics and governance; and is underpinned in knowledge about and understanding of current barriers to effective and efficient prevention, reduction, mitigation and monitoring of marine pollution in European Seas.
