Presentation title: “Baltic Sea: From Problem to Solutions”

The Baltic Sea is one of the most polluted seas in the world, with eutrophication remaining its biggest challenge-an excess of phosphorus and nitrogen leading to algal blooms, oxygen depletion, and ecosystem degradation. In this talk, I will explain why the Baltic is in such a critical condition, while also showing that it is a sea whose problems can realistically be solved. I will discuss the work of Race For The Baltic, practical projects that reduce nutrient inflows, and how business, science, public administration, and civil society can work together to accelerate the restoration of a healthy Baltic Sea.
