Events: capacity ceilings in EU fisheries

NGO ClientEarth is hosting a webinar discussing how EU capacity ceilings in the fisheries sector relate to the need for decarbonisation. The event takes place online on 9 December 2024. The event is prompted by a new report by the Swedish RISE Institute, commissioned by ClientEarth, that challenges the perception that vessel weight and power limits under the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) are hindering the transition to cleaner, more energy-efficient technologies. Instead, the findings show that these capacity ceilings are not a barrier to the energy transition and can align with decarbonisation efforts. The organizers expect to bring together experts, policymakers, and both small-scale and large-scale fishers to explore the report’s findings and their implications for decarbonisation in the fisheries sector. Further information is available in this report. Registration is open here.
