What is the Baltic Sea Action Summit?

The Baltic Sea is the most polluted sea in the world. In November 2007, the countries bordering the sea adopted a road map (the Baltic Sea Action Plan by HELCOM) which identifies the actions needed to restore the status of the Baltic Sea.

The Baltic Sea Action Summit will be organised in Helsinki in 2010 to offer a platform for heads of state, companies, business leaders, NGOs and individual citizens to contribute to the carrying out of these actions.

All BSAS invitees – from leaders representing the business community to governments, NGOs and philanthropy – will make their own commitment to action.
