“Research shows that #genderDiscrimination in the labour market leads to lower economic growth. Acknowledging the necessity to think diversely and inclusively, we need to leave the narrow assumptions of traditional ways of doing things behind“ - Ann Linde, former Foreign Minister of Sweden at EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region Annual Forum 2024: https://lnkd.in/d7aVJncN The Maritime Industry in Sweden has united around a program dedicated to continuous learning, discussion and improvement of the social work environment – both on ships and in shore-based roles.

Just a quick 3-minute grab of your attention, to tell you about the excellent (not at all an objective opinion), life-changing (ok debatable) and thought-provoking (that's actually true) workshops us at the EUSBSR PA Ship and EUSBSR PA Safe have organised across the Baltic Sea region lately. Go on, have a read! ?? ?? ?? We appreciate the support from EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and Interreg Baltic Sea Region in our quest of making the Baltic Sea clean and safe for us all. ??

Green corridors expand worldwide but face a "feasibility wall." Today, the Global Maritime Forum and Getting to Zero Coalition reveal new findings on the global status of green shipping corridors – specific trade routes where the feasibility of zero-emission shipping is catalysed by public and private action. The third edition of the "Annual Progress Report on Green Shipping Corridors" highlights a significant expansion in the number of initiatives but also makes clear that continued advancement is not a given. ?? 40% growth in green shipping initiatives this year, with six corridors nearing real-world implementation. ?? Yet, progress faces a major hurdle—the high cost of zero-emission fuels and limited government policy support could stall future advances. The report calls for urgent action to bridge the cost gap, highlighting five key recommendations for driving continued progress and unlocking a sustainable future for shipping.
