The 7th edition of the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity is a tri-annual international meeting for discussion on current and emerging issues in marine biodiversity. It aims to bring together policymakers, scientists, conservationists, industry representatives, and other stakeholders to look at how marine ecosystems and their resources can be protected and managed sustainably.

The conference is organised by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), a Belgian marine research organisation based in Ostend. The programme is built around the theme “The marine biodiversity insights we need, for the ocean we want” and aims to take stock of current actions while looking at what still needs to be addressed during the decade.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
