WCC 2020 Res 033 - Activity Report

CCB is in favour of an expansion of offshore wind energy for the implementation of the energy transition, but this entails many risks for nature and places an additional burden on the marine environment through loss of habitat. We have worked on advocating that the expansion of offshore wind energy must be compatible with nature. This means that, when planning and building wind turbines in the Baltic Sea, the objectives of the EU Birds and Habitats Directive and the MSFD must be taken into account.
