On October 13th 2022 I was invited by the John Nurminen Foundation (John Nurmisen SÀÀtiö) to provide the keynote speech at its 30th anniversary in the beautiful city of Helsinki. The foundation does lots of great work to save the Baltic Sea and its heritage for future generations. I was honoured to speak about the opportunities of building a sustainable ocean economy in the Baltic Sea and beyond. Lots of great connections and conversations!
My summary blog of my speech can be found on Economist Impact’s World Ocean Initiative.
