SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Following the pace gained in 2020, we managed to address most on the processes we aimed to in 2021.
Despite another challenging year CCB has further strengthened its capacities, skills and network through variety of activities, efficient advocacy and outreach.

HIGHLIGHTS
THE BEST OF 2021
The HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP)
CCBs wide range of topics and expertise has resulted in numerous inputs (the joint NGOs Baltic Shadow Plan, 2020) to update of the regional HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan.
Concrete actions on underwater noise, fisheries, bycatch, MPAs and port handling of fertiliser are some examples. It is usually hard to trace CCB activities to the impact envisaged, but in this case it is clear: the BSAP is better thanks to CCBs work. The end results of the impact on the environment now depends on implementation and CCB will continue to link BSAP (as regional implementation of MSFD) with CFP, CAP and the key environmental legislations.
The updated BSAP was adopted at the HELCOM Ministerial Meeting 2021 (MM2021) held in Lübeck, Germany on 20 October 2021.
In conjunction with the HELCOM Ministerial Meeting, Coalition Clean Baltic (CCB) along with WWF Baltic Ecoregion Programme invited high-level ministers, finance representatives and NGOs together in the side-event "How can regional financial flows in the seascape help support and restore the Baltic Sea?".
OCB course, Coastal & River University, GRASS Conference
The willingness of CCB to bring the most recent knowledge to people, within but also outside its network, to develop common projects and solutions to protect the Baltic Sea is continuously growing. By sharing experiences and ideas during CCB's open events such as the GRASS Conference, Our Common Baltic, the River University and the newly established Coastal University, CCB encourages participants to act and engage for a better environment.
30 years is the right age to Re-think, Re-vitalise, Re-unite and Re-coalition
2020 marked Coalition Clean Baltic’s 30th Anniversary. The internal process to review and revitalise CCB cooperation and restructure the work based on the member’s needs and wishes has been highly successful. New and fewer working areas, a clearer internal and external communication and better cooperation with other NGOs as well as attracting the attention of potentially new members are some of the positive outcomes. The changes are still new but the longer term results CCB is hoping for is a more engaged network and improved chances to speak on behalf of green civil society organisations.
