Want to protect marine biodiversity and fight coastal erosion? Save the Posidonia seagrass!
5 Jun 2025
European Committee o...
Posidonia is a Mediterranean marine plant that provides a home for marine fauna, but also has many benefits for the protection of marine biodiversity: the underwater meadows of Posidonia provide food & refuge to thousands of species and store 3 times more CO2 than tropical forests. This seagrass also helps fight coastal erosion. However, Posidonia is today threatened by uncontrolled anchoring, in the first place, as well as by pollution and climate change. The result is that the underwater meadows of Posidonia have been receding in recent years, covering less and less surface of the sea bottom. That is why, in France, Région Sud has made it a priority to protect this ecological 'super plant'. With help of the European funding, they have put in place numerous measures to protect and help restore the meadows of Posidonia that are so beneficial to marine biodiversity and so important for fighting coastal erosion.

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and Bord Bia joined forces to showcase Ireland’s commitment to expanding organic agriculture with a new organic show garden at Bloom 2025. The show garden, Nature’s Symphony: Celebrating Organic Growth, is designed to engage and educate visitors on the principles of organic production and the advantages of sustainable growing methods. The organic farming sector is growing rapidly in Ireland, as new data shows that the amount of land being farmed organically has more than tripled since 2021. Over the five days of Bloom, visitors enjoyed distinct planting zones within the garden that showcased organic crops, potatoes and other vegetables in traditional lazy beds, alongside common Irish wild plants and specimen trees. Elements of the show garden also paid homage to President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins, who is the Patron of Bloom, his support of organic food production, and his dedication to sustainability, creativity, and the arts.

John Sherlock runs a firewood business in Navan, County Meath. A lot of his firewood was sourced from his small forest holding, but as the business expanded, he sourced pulp wood from other forest operators. This pulp wood, the material from forestry thinnings, often has high-quality wood, so John invested in a sawmill to produce sawn timber that he sells to local craft workers. He also produces a number of timber products that generate more revenue than converting them to fire logs or wood chipping. John is now involved in Continuous Cover Forestry, ensuring the long-term future of his forest. He's a member of the North East Forestry Group, which he has found to be a fantastic forum for peer-to-peer learning. Forestry Booklet: gov.ie/forestrybooklet

Peter Farrelly is extremely active in the management of his 50-hectare mixed forest in county Meath. The size and layout of this forest is impressive. Wildlife is abundant. Keep an eye out for the pair of buzzards flying over the Sitka spruce. Unfortunately, Ash dieback (Chalara) has destroyed all three hectares of Ash planted in this forest. Peter explains the process of clearing the Ash and replanting and the supports provided by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Peter is keen to implement Continuous Cover Forestry and have a greater mix of species of trees around the forest. He has a particular fondness for the oak that he has planted. Peter is a beef farmer too and admits that forestry is far more lucrative per/hectare than raising cattle, but it's a long-term investment. He'd definitely encourage people to get involved in forestry. He has no regrets in making the investment.

At any given time, there are hundreds of submarines in operation globally. For NATO, they provide nuclear deterrence, gather intelligence, conduct anti-submarine warfare and support Special Operations. All while remaining stealthy and effective in our seas and oceans. But what happens if something goes wrong? Submarine rescue ships are on standby whenever there are submarines in the sea, to provide specialised expertise and equipment if a crisis strikes. NATO undertakes regular exercises to ensure we are prepared to assist submarines in distress. These drills enhance coordination among Allies and effectiveness in real-life emergencies. In this video, we spent time with the submariners and rescue operators on NATO exercise Dynamic Monarch, to find out just what it takes to respond to a crisis in the deep. Nations involved in the exercise included Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and the United States. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel https://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News https://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History https://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: https://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: https://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: https://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: https://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: https://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #OTAN #submarine

OCEAN - Safety nets: Can smarter fishing gear protect marine life and keep fishers afloat?
26 Mar 2025
EU Ocean & Fisheries
In the Bay of Biscay, thousands of dolphins die every year, trapped in fishing nets. The problem is so severe that French authorities have to close fisheries for an entire month for the second winter in a row. The bycatch problem extends beyond dolphins. Trawl nets capture everything in their path — up to 40% of catches are unintended, often killing marine life indiscriminately. In this episode of “Ocean”, we discover two groundbreaking European projects that are offering a cutting-edge technological solution to these problems. DOLPHINFREE uses acoustic beacons that speak dolphins' language, warning the marine mammals away from nets. Marine Beacon develops AI-powered smart trawl nets with cameras that can automatically sort and release unwanted species. By making fishing more selective and intelligent, these innovations could protect marine ecosystems while keeping fishing economically viable — offering the industry a smarter, more sustainable future.

What's your marine identity?
5 Mar 2025
UNESCO
New research suggests that people’s deep connection with the ocean – their “marine identity” – can help us reset society’s relationship with the seas. Led by Dr. Pamela Buchan from Exeter Marine at the University of Exeter with a diverse, international group of marine researchers and practitioners, this research defines marine identity as: “An identity rooted in how the ocean as a place supports the sense of self.” This is the first time that an international, cross-cultural definition of marine identity has been agreed upon. This research is the culmination of a project that was endorsed as an #OceanDecade Activity and by the EU Mission Ocean and is a key contribution to Decade Challenge 10, which aims to restore society's relationship with the ocean. 👉Read the paper: https://ow.ly/3X7e50UCCcI

These cables enable communication, finance, cloud services, and vital infrastructure to operate seamlessly across borders. Yet, despite their critical i​mportance, submarine cables face a range of vulnerabilities, from natural disasters to ageing infrastructure to accidental human activity such as fishing and anchoring. Disruptions can affect industry and government operations, as well as the ability of individuals to access​ education, healthcare and financial services. Over 200 cable repairs were reported worldwide in 2023 by the ICPC – equivalent to more than three cable failures per week on average. With the world’s reliance on stable, high-speed Internet growing every day, the resilience of these cables is paramount.​ ​Multistakeholder d​​​ialogue, including among gove​rnments, regulatory authorities, industry leaders, submarine cable experts, and international organisations, is vital for enhancing the resilience of submarine telecom cables in order to safeguard our digital future and global economic stability. 26–27 February 2025, Abuja, Nigeria

The meaning of Sisu | 🇫🇮 Finnish conscripts of the Jaeger Brigade
28 Jan 2025
NATO
Sisu is a special word in Finnish culture. While its exact definition can vary, for most it means determination and composure in the face of adversity. For the conscripts of the Finnish Army’s Jaeger Brigade, stationed in the vast forests of Finnish Lapland, sisu is crucial. Without it, they’d find it hard to endure the freezing temperatures and austere landscapes of the Nordic Arctic. We take a look at this uniquely demanding job and the spirit of sisu of our Finnish Ally. Finland relies on a conscription-based military system, requiring all men aged 18 to 60 to complete military service, while women have the option to volunteer. Each year, around 21,000 conscripts complete their military training in Finland. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, this number has increased – the rise largely driven by female volunteers – and Finland made the historic decision to abandon military neutrality and subsequently joined NATO in April 2023. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel https://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News https://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History https://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: https://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: https://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: https://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: https://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: https://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #Finland #sisu

Finnish 🇫🇮 soldiers train NATO Allies in winter survival skills
8 Jan 2025
NATO
In Lapland, northern Finland, where temperatures regularly drop below -20 degrees Celsius, instructors from the Finnish Defence Forces’ Jaeger Brigade regularly run different winter warfare courses for military personnel from various NATO member countries. Being able to face extreme weather conditions is a crucial skill to have for NATO troops, particularly in a cold weather environment. Training helps soldiers who have never had the chance to endure such harsh conditions to get acquainted with the environment, understand and overcome the challenges it poses, and get familiar with it, so they can enhance their ability to defend the Alliance’s territory in all climate conditions, should the need arise. These courses range from basic survival skills to more advanced scenarios. Here, a group of Allied soldiers coming from France, the United Kingdom and the United States test their mettle as they face Arctic conditions for the first time in the vast, freezing cold Finnish forests, along with Finnish soldiers. Spending time with experienced Finnish trainers, they learned how to use layered clothing, protect against and treat injuries related to frostbite, build endurance in extreme conditions, make fires, develop cross-country skiing skills and rescue from the ice. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel https://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News https://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History https://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: https://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: https://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: https://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: https://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: https://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #OTAN #Finland

The pace of ocean warming has almost doubled since 2005. Marine heatwaves are not only devastating for life under the sea but also on land. Hurricanes, floods, droughts: all these extreme weather events have been intensifying over the past few years and have also been happening more often, according to experts. And although these events happen on land, one common driver for them lies in the ocean. Scientists have found that long stretches of high sea surface temperatures, called marine heatwaves, can amplify phenomena such as storms and heavy rainfall.

OCEAN - Are marine heatwaves making natural disasters worse?
20 Dec 2024
EU Ocean & Fisheries
The pace of ocean warming has almost doubled since 2005. Marine heatwaves are not only devastating for life under the sea but also on land. Hurricanes, floods, droughts: all these extreme weather events have been intensifying over the past few years and have also been happening more often, according to experts. And although these events happen on land, one common driver for them lies in the ocean. Scientists have found that long stretches of high sea surface temperatures, called marine heatwaves, can amplify phenomena such as storms and heavy rainfall.

The future of EU enlargement: Views from Helsinki, Stockholm and Vienna

Trans European Polic...
It has been 30 years since Austria, Finland and Sweden organised their respective European Union (EU) referenda that led to the accession of the three countries in 1995. Now enlargement is back as a major issue on the EU’s agenda. However, different Member States continue to have diverging preferences, priorities and concerns regarding the enlargement process. How does the accession trio of 1995 position itself in today’s enlargement debates and how have their policies evolved in recent years? Are there any shared views that could serve as building blocks for broader EU consensus – or are we witnessing three separate national perspectives that underline the EU’s lack of unity? The Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA), the Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA) and the Austrian Society for European Politics (Ă–GfE)/Europa Club Wien, brought together experts from Austria, Finland and Sweden to discuss the three countries’ views on EU enlargement in a dedicated online discussion on 5 December 2024 at 9:30 CET / 10:30 EET. The event was hosted on Zoom and livestreamed on TEPSA’s YouTube channel. Speakers included: - Dr. Calle HĂĄkansson, Researcher at the Swedish Defence Research Agency’s Division for Defence Analysis & Associate Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute for International Affairs (UI); - Tyyne Karjalainen, Researcher in the European Union and Strategic Competition research programme, Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA); - Paul Schmidt, Secretary General, Austrian Society for European Politics (OEGfE) & editor of the â€Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals’ series; - Moderated by Dr. Sanna Salo, Post-Doctoral Fellow in the European Union and Strategic Competition research programme, Finnish Institute of International Affairs (FIIA). This online discussion reflected on the findings of TEPSA’s latest book â€Enlargement and the Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals’, co-edited by Michael Kaeding, Johannes Pollak, and Paul Schmidt, and published by Springer. The book gathers over 60 leading experts in 41 European countries to examine how different national histories, policies, and corresponding public perceptions can influence engagement with the EU enlargement process. It is part of an annual series coordinated by TEPSA examining important European themes from national perspectives.

6 Dec 2024
NATO
The NATO Through Time podcast dives deep into NATO’s history, reflecting on how the past influences the present – and future – of the longest-lasting alliance in history. This episode features former President of Finland Sauli Niinistö, who discusses his country’s journey (alongside Sweden) from NATO partner to member. What is the difference between NATO members and partners? Why did Finland and Sweden set aside decades of neutrality and apply for NATO membership in 2022? What can Finland’s experience living next-door to Russia, and its 900,000-strong reserve forces, teach the rest of the Alliance? In this episode, Sauli Niinistö, who served as President of Finland from 2012 to 2024, talks about Finland’s experience of military non-alignment for more than seven decades, including almost 30 years of NATO partnership. He walks listeners through Finland’s decision to apply for NATO membership alongside Sweden in 2022, and the process of transitioning from NATO partner to NATO member. He also speaks about his role as a Special Adviser to the European Union on strengthening Europe’s civil and military preparedness and readiness, and what Europe needs to do to boost its resilience against growing hybrid threats.

Winners of the WSIS Prizes, recognizing innovative technological approaches to support sustainable development, were announced on 28 May 2024 at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20 Forum High-Level Event 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland. Overall, projects from 18 countries were presented with WSIS Prizes top honours, showcasing leading efforts to bridge the digital divide, foster digital inclusion, and drive socio-economic progress on a global scale. “This year's WSIS Prizes demonstrate the innovation and energy that exist to find technological solutions to some of the globe's biggest challenges, said ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin. “These are the creative contributions that the world needs in our effort to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Smartpur, Nokia’s flagship CSR initiative, is a digital village ecosystem project aimed at integrating technology into the daily lives of communities living in remote villages across India. Smartpur is executed in partnership with Save the Children India and Digital Empowerment Foundation. The project intends to empower and support local entrepreneurs through digital technology. Entrepreneurs are provided with facilities to make services across the pillars of Livelihood, Health, Education, Financial Inclusion, and Governance accessible at the village level through Smartpur centers. Beneficiaries of the project leverage digital tools to access livelihood opportunities and skill-based training programs, telemedicine services, education in technology and computer literacy, financial services such as banking, and government schemes and services. The project was first implemented in 2017 with 10 Smartpur centers established in the state of Haryana. The number of centers has since grown to 350 in 2023, established in 10 states across India. Between 2017 and 2022, 40 centers have been exited sustainably. These centers continue to provide the intended services to rural communities and generate a livelihood for the entrepreneurs. The project has created large-scale social impact – it reached over million beneficiaries. Between April 2022 and March 2023 alone, the project reached over 835,100 beneficiaries. Approximately 480,000 people were supported with access and awareness on social protection schemes and services; over 26,900 people sought digital literacy training, career counselling camps and academic support; more than 297,500 people accessed financial literacy services such as conducting digital financial transactions, opening and operating banks accounts, and financial literacy; over 17,500 received telemedicine services and attended health awareness camps, and over 9,600 people were linked with livelihood opportunities, received vocational training, and trained on life skills.

This video is an overview of Irish forestry looking at how it has grown over the past century. In 1900 only 2% of land was covered in forestry. Today the figure stands at 12% and much of this growth is down to the 24,000 farmers that have added forestry to their farm enterprise. Despite this growth Ireland still lags far behind the European average for forestry. Our ambitious Forestry Strategy hopes address this.

NATO’s Arctic Marines – Journey through the High North
30 Oct 2024
NATO
NATO’s marines are among the toughest troops in the Alliance. But in the Arctic, tough isn’t enough – marines must be unusually skilled and resilient to survive the freezing temperatures and rugged landscape. In early 2024, marine forces from several NATO Allies got to test their mettle against the High North, putting their cold weather lessons into practice while learning new tactics from their counterparts during exercise Steadfast Defender 24. Finnish, Italian and Swedish marines worked together to stage amphibious raids on the coast of Norway, while US marines improved their survival skills inland, learning what their Nordic Allies already know: when it comes to deep snow, skis are the only way to get around. The exercise was particularly poignant for Finland and Sweden, NATO’s two newest members. Finland joined in 2023, while Sweden joined in the midst of the exercise, with many Swedish troops holding impromptu celebrations to mark their accession. Marines need to be prepared to come ashore and defend Allied territory, no matter the time, place or climate. This short documentary follows the marines during Steadfast Defender, showing that they’re more than capable of braving the elements to fulfil their mandate. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel https://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News https://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History https://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: https://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: https://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: https://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: https://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: https://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #OTAN #WeAreNATO

Despite having a population of only 5.5 million, Finland has an impressive wartime strength of 280,000 military personnel. That is mostly due to its comprehensive conscription service that all men between the ages of 18 and 60 must complete. Women can apply for the military service voluntarily. After completing their service, Finns fulfil their roles as reservists by taking refresher courses and joining exercises that keep the skillsets they learned during their service up-to-date. #NATO #Finland

US Marines training in Sweden share three factoids about the Marine Corps. How many did you know? NATO’s newest member, Sweden, hosted US Marines and Polish soldiers for BALTOPS 24, an annual US-led maritime exercise that takes place in the Baltic region. On Gotland – a strategically vital island situated in the middle of the Baltic Sea – troopers from Poland, Sweden and the United States practised amphibious operations together, familiarising themselves with the island and learning how to defend it from an attack. In the event of a crisis on the Baltic Sea, Gotland would be vital to ensuring the safety of Allied maritime traffic. In recent years, Sweden has doubled down on preparations to defend the island, holding several defence drills while reactivating the Gotland Regiment, an armoured unit equipped with tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. 20 NATO Allies, 50 ships and dozens of aircraft took part in BALTOPS 24. This year was the first time Sweden participated as a full NATO member. BALTOPS allows Allies to practice collective defence at sea. The exercise is led by U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa and the U.S. Sixth Fleet, with the Portugal-based Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO) exercising command over the ships.
