"Two years have passed quickly. However, much has changed since the project's inception, also in the applications of the European Green Deal policy, both at legislative level (e.g. approval of the Nature Restoration Law, that came into effect on August 2024) and in the response of the society (e.g. Europe is decarbonising at an unprecedented pace, with 74 % of electric power coming from renewable and low-carbon energy sources, marking a significant increase compared to the 68% share in 2023). Over these two years, we collaborated with many ongoing European initiatives focused on maritime transition and marine management. Dedicated teams from all participating countries spent remarkable efforts in ensuring that project’s results were produced on time, consistently and widely disseminated. In this work, we were also supported by inputs from our Advisory Board, DG Mare, and CINEA. After two years of work, we remain convinced—and our successful joint final conference with Regina-MSP confirmed—that the path initiated by MSP-GREEN, in making Maritime Spatial Planning an enabler of the Green Deal, is essential for achieving sustainable transitions at sea. The recent climate emergencies underscore the urgency of winning the Green Deal, and the way forward is clear. The sea horizon, is green, indeed."
