2021 was the starting year of the United Nations-declared Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (UNDOSS: 2021-2030). On this occasion, VLIZ, Blue Cluster and the Flemish government’s department of Economy, Science and Innovation launched the brochure ‘Gearing up our blue knowledge - Tackling ocean challenges in the UN Decade of Ocean Science’.

However, the blue economy is constantly evolving, and a lot has changed in Flanders since 2021. The time was there ripe to publish an updated version of the brochure.

New topics

The new version of the brochure integrates a number of corrections, updates and revisions. Additionally, a number of topics included for the first time or in a more detailed form, including:

  • Blue Economy Science Summit (BESS); 
  • Prinses Elisabeth island;
  • Floating offshore solar panels.

We wish everyone plenty of reading pleasure!
