Climate change in the Baltic Sea: state of play and solutions will be addressed at international conference

The effects of climate change are already evident in the Baltic Sea. However, they are often not easy to understand and can be difficult to distinguish from other anthropogenic pressures. Both climate change and other human-induced pressures vary significantly between different regions in the Baltic Sea, ruling out simple management solutions and a one-size-fits-all approach that could be applied across the entire region.

Centred around the theme of climate change in the Baltic Sea, the HELCOM Stakeholder Conference 2022 (HSC2022) is part of our efforts to disseminate knowledge on the regional effects of climate change. The HSC2022 will allow us to gather fresh views on climate change mitigation and adaptation from policy makers and all other stakeholders in the Baltic Sea region.

The HSC2022 be held online on 9-10 March 2022, in conjunction with Baltic Earth and Germany. The webinar on Day 1 is open to all, and the workshop on Day 2 is by invitation only.
