Mission Charter

Mission ‘Restore our Ocean and Waters’ is all about protecting and restoring the health of our marine and freshwater ecosystems by 2030. We will achieve this through research, innovation, citizen engagement and blue investment. Pledging an action to the Mission Charter is one way for you and your organisation to show support and get involved in a joint European effort to protect our ocean and waters.Pledging an action to the Mission Charter is the vital first step that we as European citizens, researchers, investors, businesses, and public authorities must make if we are to mobilise resources and take collective action in support of the Mission’s objectives.Pledges to the Mission Charter can take many forms, whether your pledge supports R&I goals, offers access to knowledge or data, upscales and deploys novel solutions, provides education, or engages citizens to protect our aquatic ecosystems – all actions are welcome!
