North-East Atlantic Environment Strategy 2030

Contracting Parties developed an implementation plan to support work to put the Strategy into effect. The plan is a living document, setting out specific actions and tasks to achieve the NEAES objectives and is used by OSPAR to record and assess progress with implementation of the Strategy. In 2025 OSPAR published a progress report on the implementation of the NEAES 2030.
