Ministerial Mondays: 12 weeks to go!

OSPAR is holding a Ministerial Meeting in Vigo, Spain, on 26 June 2025, in the wake of the UN Ocean Conference in Nice.

Ministers will meet to renew commitments to the important work of the OSPAR Commission, to collectively review progress under its North-East Atlantic Environment Strategy 2030, to discuss new actions, and to agree our priorities for the next 5 years.

With only 12 weeks to go, we'll be publishing an e-newsletter each Monday detailing how our experts are preparing for the big day through our committees and other groups.

Radioactive Substances Committee

OSPAR’s Radioactive Substances Committee (RSC) met in February at the kind invitation from the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) in Monaco.

The maritime surroundings of Monaco proved inspirational as RSC ramped up ambitions in the build up to the Ministerial meeting as RSC discussed the opportunities offered by this meeting to gain political attention for its important work.

Observer organisations

The Secretariat sent out invitations to our 60+ OSPAR observer organisations last week and also information on the different opportunities open to them to engage in the Ministerial meeting week. Please look out for these and get in touch if you have any questions.

Further information will be published our Ministerial 2025 web pages as it becomes available.
