The objective of OSPAR's Intermediate Assessment (IA) 2029 is to assess the environmental status of the North East Atlantic against the objectives of the North East Atlantic Environmental Strategy 2021-2030 (NEAES 2030), and identify the priority elements for actions to achieve OSPAR’s vision of a clean, healthy and biologically diverse North-East Atlantic Ocean, which is productive, used sustainably and resilient to climate change and ocean acidification. In addition IA 2029 may be used by Contracting Parties that are also EU Member States to support their reporting obligations under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
The IA 2029 Guidance Document is the main steering document for the process. The document provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the scope, structure, contents, timeline, work flows and procedures in delivering the IA 2029.
Resources to be used by experts and delegates working on delivering the IA 2029 are made available on this webpage. SharePoint is used as the document management system. If you need access to SharePoint or have any questions, please contact [email protected]
