The EU Blue Economy Report seeks to continuously improve the
measuring and monitoring of the socio economic impact of the
Blue Economy, without disregarding the environmental implications. As the European Union embarks on the new European
Green Deal1, the need to ensure that all angles are being considered becomes more and more evident so economic growth and
employment go hand in hand with protecting and restoring nature
and fighting climate change.. The Report should be seen as a tool
to support relevant initiatives and policies under the new European
Green Deal, which aims at implementing the United Nation’s 2030
Agenda by putting “sustainability and the well-being of citizens
at the centre of economic policy and the sustainable development
at the heart of the EU’s policymaking and action”
