Med OCEaN welcomes eco-union as a new Member

OCEaN – Mediterranean Sea (Med OCEaN) is today proud to announce a new Member: eco-union. Based in Barcelona, eco-union is an independent environmental Think and Do Tank aiming to promote environmental integrity while ensuring social inclusion and economic development through better policies and practices supported by science, evidence, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.

Operating mainly in Europe and the Mediterranean region, eco-union aims to foster a new environmental culture in people and organizations, through research, training and cooperation. It proposes to generate change agents among companies, institutions, administrations, opinion leaders, managers, professionals and citizens in general to catalyze the transition towards sustainability.

With ongoing work on topics including energy and climate change; green and blue economies; governance and policies; and tourism, cities and mobilities, Med OCEaN welcomes the expertise eco-union will bring to the Coalition and looks forward to collaborating on the nature-friendly expansion of offshore wind and grids in the Mediterranean region.

Launched in 2023, Med OCEaN brings together NGOs, wind industry, and transmission system operators (TSOs) from across the Mediterranean basin and adjacent Atlantic waters. Med OCEaN aims to cooperate on the sustainable deployment of offshore wind and grid, while safeguarding nature and healthy marine ecosystems in the region.
