Der Begriff der „Blue Economy“ ist jetzt in Mode, aber welche Sektoren verbergen sich tatsächlich hinter dieser „blauen Wirtschaft“? Und welchen Einfluss hat die Energiewende auf Bereiche wie Meeresschutz, maritimen Transport oder Fischerei? Sind Elektro-Containerschiffe in naher Zukunft vorstellbar? Dies ist das Thema der sechsten Episode des Podcasts #WuPiG (Wissenschaft und Politik im Gespräch), der Vertreterinnen und Vertreter aus Politik und Forschung zusammenbringt. Zu Gast ist Felix Leinemann, Referatsleiter für blaue Wirtschaftssektoren, Aquakultur und maritime Raumplanung in der Generaldirektion Maritime Angelegenheiten und Fischerei der Europäischen Kommission. Er spricht in dieser Folge mit Florian Lennert, Experte für nachhaltige Innovation und Entwicklung, Klaus-Töpfer-Sustainability Fellow am Research Institute for Sustainability.
