Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
BalticSea2020 is a private independent foundation founded by Mr. Björn Carlson through a donation of 500 million SEK.
The assets shall finance projects that are daring, innovative and can contribute to improve the knowledge of the Baltic Sea. The foundations capital shall be used continuously until 2020, hence the name of the foundation.
Since the foundation started its work in 2006 the board has granted more than 175 million SEK to projects within Eutrophication, Fishery, Living Coastal Zone and Opinion and Film. In total the foundation has initiated 55 projects of which 20 are currently ongoing.
Our vision and program statement:
BalticSea2020 has one overarching goal: In the year 2020, when the foundations money is spent, it has hopefully contributed to turn around the environmental trend of the Baltic Sea. Because it is necessary. Otherwise the quality of life for 90 million citizens, who live in the region, will drastically deteriorate. It can be done. This is the belief of BalticSea2020´s founder, Mr Björn Carlson. He wants to use his donation to create a strong organization that is capable of bypassing politics and bureaucracy, to step in quickly and make sure that decisions are made and initiatives, that have a positive impact on the Baltic Sea, are implemented.
A lot has already been done. Since BalticSea2020 started its work the foundation has been part in influencing the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), initiated more than fifteen projects for a cleaner and healthier Baltic Sea, and supported the execution and publication of more than twenty scientific projects. BalticSea2020 has also produced two price winning TV-documentaries (For Cod´s Sake and Dirty Waters) that has been broadcasted in 12 countries so far.
