Roadmap Towards 2030: Co-driving the Africa-Europe Ocean Partnership

The Africa-Europe Ocean Partnership would centre on comprehending current ocean trends such as biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution and declining natural resources, and integrating sustainability, restoration, resilience, and regeneration into the ocean governance and blue economy frameworks of collaborating partners. 

The work of the Africa-Europe Strategy Group on Ocean Governance contributed to this joint vision and advanced a Roadmap to fully realise and operationalise the proposed enhanced Africa-Europe Ocean Partnership. 

The Roadmap developed by the Strategy Group acknowledges the importance of knowledge-sharing, policy alignment, and joint action. It also aims to move beyond traditional models of development aid, which have often favoured one-sided approaches, and instead advocates for more equitable, collective responsibility and collaborative strategies where both Africa and Europe contribute with solutions.
