Balancing ocean health and economic growth: The role of sustainability metrics in the EU The EU’s Blue Growth Strategy emphasises leadership in blue energy and progress in sectors such as aquaculture and blue biotechnology. However, challenges remain in accounting for marine ecosystem contributions and assessing the degree of inclusive blue growth. This column distinguishes between weak sustainability, which allows for trade-offs between dimensions of blue growth, and strong sustainability, which emphasises balance across dimensions. Obstacles to blue growth include insufficient economic growth in blue economy sectors and environmental problems like eutrophication. Future efforts should target such specific problems while supporting promising blue economy innovations.

#UNOC3 in Nice aims to foster development in #SDG14. In doing so, it needs not only good data but also #ScienceForTheOcean to aggregate, analyze and derive policy recommendations. Here, we discuss metrics cepr.org/voxeu/column..., @ignaciosg.bsky.social @kiel.institute‬ @voxeu.org

Insufficient economic #growth in blue economy sectors is the main obstacle to sustainable blue growth. The second-largest obstacle is environmental: insufficient control of eutrophication.

Außenwirtschaft europäisch denken! Die neue Bundesregierung muss auf eine starke 🇪🇺 als Antwort auf geopolitische Spannungen, Protektionismus & wirtl. Unsicherheit setzen. Was das für den Umgang mit 🇨🇳, Afrika & 🇺🇸 bedeutet, beim Klima, Rohstoffen & Handelsabkommen 👉 www.ifw-kiel.de/de/publikati...

The US shows how #CarbonRemoval is done - a pathway to 1GT/year by 2050.

The DOE has just published a 111-page draft report that provides a great basis for a federal #CDR strategy.

An impressive start and an excellent example for other governments.

Ich glaube so "richtig" wird er erst ab/nach 2030 durchstarten, wenn er nicht mehr unter der ESR ist; aber natürlich trotzdem natürlich bereits vorher wichtiger Schritt für effiziente Klimpolitik.

Die Einführung des EHS II ist ein wichtiger Schritt zu einer effizienten EU-Klimapolitik - die volle Wirkung wird er aber erst nach 2030 entfalten. Bei zukünftigen Reformen sollten die Langfristziele netto-null/netto-negativ mitgedacht werden
