Blueing the Black Sea: Regional Collaboration to Reduce Marine Pollution

About this project

UNOPS partners with the Global Environment Facility, the World Bank and regional governments to help protect the Black Sea by reducing pollution and supporting sustainable development in the region. The Black Sea, once a thriving marine ecosystem, has faced serious environmental damage in recent decades. Eutrophication – a process in which too many nutrients accumulate in a body of water – has become a major issue, harming marine life, public health, and as a result, local economies.\n\nTo help tackle this issue, UNOPS is working with the World Bank and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) on the ’Blueing the Black Sea Regional Project’ (BBSEA). The $6 million project, implemented by UNOPS in close coordination with the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC), aims to increase the capacity and readiness of governments and the private sector in Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Türkiye to protect the Black Sea and promote sustainable development in the region.
