Blue Mediterranean Partnership. Spain pledges €8.5M to multi-donor sustainable blue economy fund

The UfM (Union for the Mediterranean) high-level session was held on Tuesday 10 June in the framework of the Mediterranean Day at the Third United Nations Oceans Conference in Nice (France).

The session focused on the leading role of the Mediterranean in promoting a sustainable blue economy. Among the main points was the formal commitment of Spain to contribute 8.5 million euros to the Blue Mediterranean Partnership (BMP), a multi-donor fund promoted by the UfM that mobilises investments in sustainable blue economy projects in the Southern Mediterranean and Red Sea areas. The first projects that will be developed are the Morocco’s first offshore windfarm, the restoration of a coral ecosystem in Jordan and the development of a wastewater treatment facility in Egypt.

“Charting the path towards sustainable blue economy: the Mediterranean leading the way” is a Union for the Mediterranean-led event on the region’s role in advancing the sustainable use of marine resources to promote socioeconomic development.
Government officials, development agencies, regional networks, private sector actors, and civil society showcased innovative financing mechanisms, cutting-edge technologies and replicable initiatives.
The event highlighted priority areas for cooperation among the 43 UfM Member States, including maritime clusters, decarbonisation, marine biodiversity, blue jobs, renewable energy, sustainable tourism, pollution prevention, and circular economy enterprises. More than €500M euros have been mobilised for over 250 regional projects in these domains since the first UfM Ministerial Declaration on Sustainable Blue Economy in 2015.
Among the speakers were European Commissioner Cóstas Kadis, Spanish Minister Sara Aagesen and UfM Secretary General Nasser Kamel.

“The Mediterranean sea plays a key role in setting the path towards a sustainable blue economy and can act as a model for other sea basins,” said EU Commissioner for Fisheries and Oceans Costas Kadis. “The Ocean Pact, just adopted by the Commission, underscores the importance of unlocking financial support from both private and public sources to boost investments in ocean related actions, supporting EU blue economy and innovation.”

“Since the inception of this initiative in 2015, the Sustainable Blue Economy has emerged as a transformative force for regional cooperation and partnership. It serves as a key to unlocking a wealth of environmental, social, and economic benefits across our basin. This is why the UNOC ‘Med Day’ provides an ideal platform to highlight our achievements and ongoing efforts,” said Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority Commissioner Aiman Soleiman of Jordan.

“The Mediterranean Sea is not just a body of water—it’s a cradle of civilisation, a hub of biodiversity, and a vital source of livelihood for millions. The Mediterranean Sea shapes our past, present and future history, economy and identity,” said Spanish Minister for Ecological Transition Sara Aagesen.

“Our rich sustainable blue economy community undoubtedly serves as inspiration for other parts of the world,” said UfM Secretary General Nasser Kamel. “The UfM has played a pioneering role in establishing and strengthening the political and technical dialogue on Sustainable Blue Economy at regional level”.

Las conexiones entre el arte y la ciencia sobre el tema del medio ambiente: entrevista a María Novo

This article presents the perspective of María Novo – Doctor of Philosophy and Educational Sciences, Professor Emeritus at the Spanish National University of Distance Education (UNED), as well as a writer, poet, and painter – on the theme of integrated ecology and the relationship between humans and nature.

The interview was conducted after the 7th International Congress on Environmental Education, held in Madrid, and in continuity with the themes addressed during the National Conference of the Weec Italy Network on the island of Ischia. Through her experience, Novo illustrates how scientific knowledge and artistic expression can converge in environmental education, offering a more holistic and humanistic approach to sustainability.

Introduction

In recent decades, the urgency of the environmental crisis has pushed educators, researchers, and institutions to rethink the very foundations of how we approach the relationship between humans and nature. The concepts of integrated ecology and sustainability are no longer limited to scientific discourse but now embrace philosophical, artistic, and emotional dimensions as well.

Within this broader vision, the 7th International Congress on Environmental Education—held last March in Madrid and organized by the Spanish Association for Environmental Education—served as an important platform for reflection and dialogue. In continuity with the themes addressed at the National Conference of the Weec Italy Network on the island of Ischia, we interviewed María Novo, a leading figure in environmental education in Spain and internationally.

A scholar with a solid academic background and a deep sensitivity as a poet and painter, Dr. Novo has long explored the intersection between rational knowledge and creative expression. In this conversation, she shares her personal and professional journey, emphasizing the value of integrating science and art in educational processes. Her approach is a testament to the power of a holistic vision—one that not only informs but also inspires, involving both mind and heart in the quest for a sustainable future.

 

Con motivo de su conferencia en la inauguración del VII Congreso Internacional de Educación Ambiental organizado por la Asociación Española de Educación Ambiental, entrevistamos a María Novo, Doctora en Filosofía y Ciencias de la Educación, Catedrática Emérita de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia de España y, last but not least, escritora, poeta y pintora.

 

La Dra. Novo nos comenta su larga experiencia trabajando en proyectos que aúnan el enfoque científico y la mirada artística, un planteamiento que ha incluido en su conferencia. Y recurre a su historia personal para contarnos cómo vivió la necesidad de conciliar su trabajo en la universidad y su vocación de poeta y pintora.

 

-No me quedaba más remedio que poner de acuerdo ambos aspectos de mi vida por pura coherencia. Así que comencé a pintar y escribir poemas sobre principios científicos y pude comprender y mostrar que Ciencia y Arte no solo no son contrarios sino que son totalmente complementarios y se enriquecen recíprocamente.

 

-Para transitar en esta dirección, en el año 2000 inicié con otros profesionales el Proyecto EcoArte (www.ecoarte.org). En el año siguiente lo presentamos internacionalmente en la UNESCO con una exposición de pintura sobre cuestiones de la ciencia. Después vinieron otras exposiciones, conferencias, aportaciones… Eso es lo que me ha llevado a incorporar el valor del arte como instrumento de cambio en mi conferencia.

 

 

Qué temas abordaste en esta tu conferencia inaugural del Congreso titulada “Es sostenible la sociedad de las prisas? La educación como palanca de cambio.

 

-Comencé planteando el difícil escenario que presenta el momento presente: hemos roto algunos mecanismos de regulación de la naturaleza y hemos desbordado sus límites. El resultado es un mundo incierto y peligroso, incentivado por los conflictos bélicos, políticos y sociales, también por la enorme desigualdad en el acceso y uso de los recursos…

 

-En mi opinión, en todos estos procesos se da una constante que se repite insistentemente: la aceleración, los ritmos precipitados con los que hemos explotado los bienes naturales a la hora de producir y consumir.

 

-Por eso me atrevo a llamar a esta sociedad “la sociedad de las prisas”. Ese es el título de mi último libro, en el que analizo con detalle cómo esta sociedad es también la de la insostenibilidad ecológica, social, personal…

 

 

¿Cuáles serían, a tu juicio, los rasgos básicos de esta sociedad?

 

En mi conferencia he señalado tres: Complejidad, Riesgo e Incertidumbre.

 

La complejidad porque el sistema ecológico no funciona mediante relaciones causa efecto lineales, sino mediante realimentaciones, sinergias, efectos de umbral… Eso hace impredecibles los resultados de algunos procesos.

 

En consecuencia, los modelos mecanicistas, deterministas y reduccionistas propios de la Modernidad no nos sirven para abordar los problemas ecológicos y sociales del mundo actual. Lo que hace necesario que trabajemos siempre en educación ambiental a partir de un enfoque sistémico/complejo.

 

Por lo que respecta al riesgo, es preciso enfatizar que ir más allá de los límites con nuestros impactos sobre la naturaleza genera riesgos desconocidos. Y que el “precio” de estos riesgos no es solo económico, sino que afecta a la vida misma: vida natural, recursos físicos y vidas humanas (catástrofes socioecológicas, migraciones, hambrunas…).

 

Estas dos dimensiones de la crisis ambiental explican el por qué estamos actualmente en contextos de alta incertidumbre. Hemos sobrepasado varios puntos de no retorno (tipping points). En lo que va de siglo XXI hemos consumido tantos recursos naturales y hemos lanzado tanta contaminación y calor a la atmósfera como en todo el siglo XX.

 

Y este viaje sin freno hacia un deterioro creciente de nuestras condiciones de vida nos coloca al borde del abismo. Estamos en la sociedad de las prisas y la aceleración.

 

 

Dado tu conocimiento en la materia, me gustaría conocer tu opinión sobre el papel de la educación ambiental en la sociedad que describes.

 

Se habla mucho, en exceso, de un cambio de paradigma. Pero es preciso profundizar en el concepto y lo que significa: En ciencia, cuando cambia un paradigma lo que cambia no son las respuestas sino las preguntas.

 

Necesitamos hacernos preguntas no solo distintas sino de otra índole. Junto a las preguntas económicas (que son las que rigen nuestras sociedades) es preciso manejar interrogantes socioecológicos:

¿Seremos capaces de acoplar nuestros ritmos acelerados a los de le naturaleza?

¿Sabremos adaptarnos a los nuevos escenarios y mitigar los daños?

¿Aprenderemos a valorar el tiempo, los ritmos, las pautas de producción y consumo en un escenario de recursos no renovables escasos?

¿Estamos dispuestos a aplicar la cuestión de los límites a nuestra vida personal: poner límites a nuestros deseos, aprender a desear…?

 

Hemos llenado el mundo de paneles solares, aerogeneradores, centrales nucleares… Todo eso son respuestas al viejo modelo del crecimiento indefinido, un modelo que nos lleva a la catástrofe. Pero la mayoría de los gestores económicos y políticos no explican a la ciudadanía que lo que hay que cambiar son nuestras formas de vida. Ese es un cambio en las preguntas… que debe conducirnos a comprender ya no podemos seguir con las pautas de explotación de recursos y producción de desechos en forma de contaminación, calor, desorden…

 

Y no pienso en los niños, esto es demasiado complejo para ellos. En las primeras etapas de la vida basta con que aprendan a amar la naturaleza, a entender cómo funciona y a moderar su consumo. Me refiero a la educación ambiental que se imparte en las universidades, en los Masters, en los Seminarios y Grupos de Trabajo, en los Congresos destinados a los adultos que, antes o después, tomarán decisiones sobre los recursos. Ahí es donde podemos incidir con toda la crudeza del tema.

 

 

¿Cuáles serían, en tu opinión, las estrategias más efectivas para promover otros comportamientos socioecológicos?

 

Me remito al principio para responderte: esa mezcla de complejidad y riesgos nos sitúa ante un escenario inédito de alta incertidumbre. Como afirmaba Prigogine, el futuro no está dado, vivimos el fin de las certidumbres.

 

Si nos situamos ahí, la pregunta es ¿Seremos capaces de enseñar a los estudiantes a gestionar la incertidumbre? ¿Sabremos hacerlo los educadores ambientales?

 

Y aparecen, de inmediato, otras preguntas: ¿Cuándo desapareció de la educación la incertidumbre? ¿O es que nunca estuvo presente de forma generalizada en ella? ¿Podemos esperar que las generaciones jóvenes sepan lidiar con el mundo incierto e inseguro que les espera?

 

En educación ambiental es muy importante, en el campo de las Ciencias Sociales, plantear distintas alternativas, una gama de grises, que acostumbre a los estudiantes a manejar una lógica borrosa y a elaborar alternativas a los problemas. Estamos metidos en una espiral de información y tecnificación de nuestros niños y jóvenes. Les enseñamos miles de conceptos, teorías, destrezas informáticas…, pero no superamos la división aristotélica de verdadero/falso y nos perdemos los matices del mundo real.

 

Tenemos que mostrar que para cualquier problema existen no una, sino múltiples soluciones. Y aquí juegan un papel importante el arte y la creatividad que contribuyen a generar preguntas con múltiples repuestas

 

El arte nos sitúa en un punto de observación abierto, es un estímulo para la imaginación, nos impulsa a ver lo que todos ven y pensar lo que nadie ha pensado. Una visión artística, creativa, es capaz de dar entrada a lo impredecible, de captar y expresar relaciones y posibilidades a las que no se llega solo por la vía racional.

 

Utilizar el arte en educación ambiental favorece también la puesta en práctica de procesos lentos, de situaciones de silencio y reflexión, de asombro, que acostumbren a las personas que aprenden a los debates sosegados, a la escucha…

 

Y finalmente, junto con el arte está el problema del tiempo. Los educadores ambientales podemos dar ejemplo en el necesario ejercicio de aminorar la velocidad de los procesos destructivos y el consumo. La sociedad de las prisas es la que, con la aceleración de los impactos sobre la naturaleza, nos ha traído a la crisis ecológica y social.

 

En mi opinión, el reto es pensar desde la complejidad y vivir (producir y consumir) desde la sencillez. Una vida personal y profesional responsable, consciente de los límites y condicionamientos del planeta, es el mejor aprendizaje que podemos practicar los docentes y proponer a nuestros estudiantes. En esa dirección, surge una pregunta que debería estar en el frontispicio de nuestros colegios y universidades:

¿Cuánto es suficiente?

Speaking 4 the Planet: creativity, courage, and a call for change

Speaking 4 the Planet (S4P) is an arts-based approach to sustainability education that empowers young people to become informed, passionate advocates for the Earth and its many species. Launched in 2013 as a competition for secondary school students, S4P has since evolved into a global platform where students express environmental concerns and hopes through creativity, critical thinking, and evidence-based advocacy.

Designed to celebrate youth voices on issues affecting the planet and their future, S4P invites participants to blend the humanities and sciences, to reflect on the philosophical dimensions of human impact, and to imagine a better world grounded in scientific understanding.

Over time, the initiative has expanded to include primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions, offering competitions in a variety of expressive formats—public speaking, art, writing, drama, video, memes, and STEM. These events not only help students develop their skills, but also emphasize the importance of having a voice and using it for change. S4P values creativity, critical inquiry, and unconventional solutions to some of the world’s most urgent environmental challenges.

Importantly, S4P helps young people recognize that they are not alone in their concern for the future. It builds local and global networks of students, schools, and communities united by a shared commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.

A timeline told through posters

Each year, the competition is shaped by a new theme, as illustrated in its visual archive of event posters:

  • 2021: “Rewind the Clock – Reverse Ecosystem Degradation” encouraged students to reflect on the importance of ecosystems.

  • 2022: With events such as “Only One Earth… so don’t waste it!” and “One Planet, One Pedder”, the focus shifted to waste reduction and ecosystem restoration.

  • 2023: “One Planet. Our Future: Consume with Care” addressed sustainable consumption, while Kids 4 the Planet continued engaging younger students.

  • 2024: The largest S4P to date was held in Vietnam, giving voice to wildlife and biodiversity. In Uganda, the first African edition mobilized over 200 students from 11 school clubs, showcasing solutions through performances, displays, and debate.

  • 2025: “Greenhouse Gases = Climate Calamity”, hosted in Sydney, focused on air pollution and climate action through speaking, writing, visual and recycled art.

These posters not only capture annual themes—they mark the growth of a movement that continues to adapt to local contexts while remaining rooted in a shared global vision.

An invitation to join the movement

Educators, students, and organizations around the world are invited to take part in future editions of S4P. The project offers guidance and support for those interested in hosting their own competition, helping local communities create engaging, meaningful, and youth-driven sustainability events.

COP27, the annual hope to fight climate change

The 27th Conference of Parties will be hosted from the 6th to the 18th of November in Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt. WEEC Network will follow the event, the opening plenary session will be held on the 6th of November, from 10 am to 1 pm.

According to the scientific community, the window for action on the climate crisis is rapidly closing, and COP27 represents (or should represent) a decisive moment to act based on the successes achieved (and failures) and future goals.

COP, the Conference of Parties, is the annual meeting of the countries that have ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), an international environmental agreement signed during the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Rio de Janeiro, 1992). Its main objective (so far missed) is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which are responsible for global warming.

COP27 is also an opportunity for all stakeholders to take a stand to address the global challenge of climate change effectively.

A part of the event will be dedicated to environmental education, as in the last editions.

Egypt – according to official statements- takes charge of the COP27 presidency recognizing the gravity of the global climate challenge and the value of collective action as the only means to address this threat, committing itself to support an inclusive, transparent and party-driven process to ensure timely and appropriate action.

The World EE Day 2022 at the University of Quebec

For the World EE Day 2022 the Centre for Research in Environmental Education and Training (Centr’ERE) of the University of Quebec in Montreal, organised a lecture programme, discussing topics of high relevance.

These days mark three symbolic dates whose meanings significantly influence the relationship with education, indigenous peoples and the environment.

On 5 October, for International Teachers’ Day, the Education – Environment – Eco-citizenship Coalition invited its members and the general public to participate in a meeting to update the proposed Quebec Strategy for Environmental Education and Eco-citizenship. The meeting was an invitation to explore the trajectory of this public policy proposal, from its origins, through a series of steps taken by the Coalition to date. We have also presented recent updates to the proposal, opening up a new collective assessment

The 12th of October, known as the Day of the Discovery of the Americas, is symbolically identified as Indigenous Resistance Day, commemorating the 530-year struggles of the First Peoples against colonisers. This event joined the movement for an engaged eco-citizenship, aimed at confronting the current wave of colonisation of territories by the extractive industry. 

The seminar took place within the framework of Environmental Education Days 2022 and, more specifically, within the activities of the project Resistaction – Critical and political dimensions of environmental education in the context of socio-ecological conflict and their contribution to the emergence of alternatives, which examines these realities in Quebec and Chile. 

Meanwhile, on 13th October, as part of the Environmental Education Days celebrations, Centr’ERE invited participants to a conversation about the place and role of critical pedagogies in this fundamental dimension of education.

 In particular, critical pedagogies, associated with the thought of Paulo Freire, have been criticised for not making ecological issues explicit, whereas their potential and proven transformative and emancipatory power leads us to reflect on updating their role in environmental education and eco-citizenship. On the occasion of the Environmental Education Days, Centr’ERE invited participants to a conversation about the place and role of critical pedagogies in this fundamental dimension of education.

A Conference debates on political education in environmental and development issues, concluded the celebrations on 14 October.

This conference proposed to open the debate from a reading of the history of environmental and development education. It discussed the successive currents of environmental education, sustainable development and the Anthropocene era, with a view to highlighting the presence or absence of political education. The paper also pointed to a recent paradigm shift, following two decades of strongly behavioural education for sustainable development, towards education for the Anthropocene that offers more potential for political socialisation. This paper accompanied the publication of number 63 of the journal Éducation et socialisation on the subject, edited by Angela Barthes, Lucie Sauvé and Frédéric Torterat.

Environmental education is to build a new ecological society

Distinguished representatives of the United Nations institutions at our side since the beginning of our adventure in 2003,

Czech authorities,

All members and staff of the local organizing committee, dear friends and colleagues engaged in environmental education, many warmest thanks for attending this 11th congress in Prague, onsite or online.

In spite of everything, against all the odds, we are here, in some way, in person or thanks to the Internet.

“Thanks” is the first word I want to underline, the second is “In spite of everything, we are here”.

After two years of huge pandemic and in times of war near us, with refugees around us. The situation is getting worse and we express our solidarity for the victims of the war.  “Near us” and “around us” is in the literal sense, near Prague and this congress Centre. But in a globalized world, on this small and finite planet, everywhere and everything is “near us”.

So, “Building bridges” and building bridges in times of climate urgency, this title imagined in 2018 is more and more meaningful.

In 1969 Environmental Education, the first journal on environmental education, inside of its first slim 32 pages issue, wrote that the goal of EE is that every citizen “knows it deep in his/her heart and bones, the simple facts that he/she is absolutely dependent on his environment, that he/she is affected by is environment, and that he/she affects his/her environment”.

This goal is ever valid, solid, and compelling.

This year we celebrate two significant fiftieth anniversaries: the first UN conference on the environment in Stockholm and the MIT report to the Club of Rome: “The Limits to Growth”.

Environmental education is to build a new ecological society.

According to Edgar Morin, it is to build a human community -a planetary community of destiny. Thanks to the culture of interdependence, and of the limits, it can come to light, a culture we can cultivate, breed, and spread. We must be a force of peace and ecological transition drivers.

It needs more competencies, more research, more relationships, and alliances. In sum, more contacts and a stronger WEEC Network.

On Wednesday, we will announce the 12th WEEC in 2024. From now we encourage all of you to consider candidacies for the 13th congress in 2026. The call for bids opens today.

Thanks a lot again. Have lovely days of talk, discoveries, and new friendships. And meet again every day after this 11th congress in Prague, which I wish fruitful and gratifying.

Despite everything.

11WEEC: We started “building bridges”

The 11th WEEC started today in Prague in the new hybrid guise, linking more than 600 environmental educators, practitioners and experts who have come in person to the Czech Republic and those connected online from all over the world in a single embrace.

In the opening ceremony there were greetings and speeches from Miloš Vystrčil, President of the Senate of the Czech Republic, Anna Hubáčková, Minister of the Environment of the Czech Republic , Milena Králíčková, Charles University, Rector, the UN agencies representatives Stefania Giannini, UNESCO and Niclas Svenningsen, UNFCCC, Nouzha Alaoui, Secretary General of the Mohammed VI Foundation for the Environment, the sponsors and, of course, the chairs and organisers of the congress Mario Salomone, WEEC Permanent Secretariat and Jan Činčera, Masaryk University, Local Organizing Team.

«In spite of everything – said Mario Salomone – against all the odds, we are here, in some way, in person or thanks to the Internet. “Thanks” is the first word I want to underline, the second is “In spite of everything, we are here”. After two years of huge pandemic and in times of war near us, with refugees around us. This goal is ever valid, solid, and compelling. This year we celebrate two significant fiftieth anniversaries: the first UN conference on the environment in Stockholm and the MIT report to the Club of Rome: “The Limits to Growth”. Environmental education is to build a new ecological society.
According to Edgar Morin, it is to build a human community -a planetary community of destiny. Thanks to the culture of interdependence, and of the limits, it can come to light, a culture we can cultivate, breed, and spread.
We must be a force of peace and ecological transition drivers. It needs more competences, more research, more relationships, and alliances. In sum, more contacts and a stronger WEEC Network».

Jan Činčera highlighted the good chance and joy of being reunited again on such a occasion of professional growth and networking.

Nouzha Alaoui underlined the role of the countries of the southern hemisphere, still underestimated, but facilitated by the spread of new technologies that shorten distances and make online connections possible.

Anna Hubáčková, Minister of the Environment of the Czech Republic, underlined the importance of the European Green Deal and the challenges to be faced with regard to the delay in communicating climate change. Along the same lines, the rector of the University of Prague reiterated the need for collaboration between schools to strengthen the SDGs. Thus Stefania Giannini, Unesco, drew attention to issues related to youth for climate.

Two interventions focused on the means we already have available for sustainability. Svenningsen said that people are the most important goal, the work that needs to be done is to give the means for understanding the tools we already have. Piccard stressed on education and economics are not in competition, they are two poles that must be in balance. “we already have the tools to build the future we imagined and the solutions are already among us, we have collected over a thousand!”
