Description

About the ETP

The ETP fosters sustainable development through cooperation, knowledge sharing, and dialogue across the EU fisheries and aquaculture sector. With the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, the ETP gathers experts from fisheries, aquaculture, ports, the fishing shipbuilding industry, processing sectors, NGOs, research institutions, and others to innovate sustainable energy solutions and best practices. Supported by the recently launched ETP Assistance Mechanism, the partnership coordinates discussions across 5 thematic areas, led by the newly appointed Support Group Coordinators—key stakeholders and members of the ETP community. Working groups focusing on each of the thematic areas will be formed within this community to help shape the recommendations for the development of the future Energy Transition roadmap to be published by the end of 2025.

Save the Date for Future Events: On December 11-12, 2024, ETP will organise additional workshops in Brussels, focusing on Small Scale Coastal Fisheries (SSCF), Large Scale Fisheries (LSF), and Distant Water Fisheries (DWF). Stay tuned for registration details and the agenda.
