Ukraine takes over the coordination of the Common Maritime Agenda for the Black Sea for 2025
On 1 January 2025, Ukraine took over the coordination of the Common Maritime Agenda (CMA) for the Black Sea, following Moldova’s CMA coordinating role in 2024. Ukraine aims to build on Moldova’s success by addressing the CMA goals and priorities in the Black Sea region.
Strategic Priorities for 2025
Ukraine’s leadership will focus on enhancing awareness of the Black Sea CMA and broadening its engagement with stakeholders in the Black Sea region and blue economy. A key priority focuses on the exchange of best practices, particularly on the need for joint environmental monitoring, including the impact of the current war (e.g. sea mines and pollution) on the sea basin , which is a shared concern for Black Sea countries. Other key objectives include discussing the latest advancements in green ports, innovative transportation systems, and modern maritime infrastructure.
