Solutions for a healthy Baltic Sea
Race For The Baltic is an independent non-profit accelerating solutions to ensure a healthy Baltic Sea for future generations by 2030.
About us
We are a solution and business oriented non-profit organisation founded by Zennström Philanthropies.
Our mission is to improve the health of the Baltic Sea.
To achieve the most impact, we focus our efforts on the predominant issue affecting the Baltic Sea, namely eutrophication. Eutrophication causes dead bottoms, algae blooms, fish mortality, and poor water transparency.
We work in collaboration with researchers, governmental institutions, other non-profit organisations, the private sector, and entrepreneurs.
Our projects are selected based on their cost efficiency and impact potential.
Concrete projects - measurable results
It is our conviction that, with the right focus, we can ensure a healthy Baltic Sea for future generations by 2030. Because eutrophication, primarily caused by excess phosphorus, is the most severe pressure on the ecology of the Baltic Sea, our main focus is to reduce phosphorus levels.
“If we continue the historic efforts, we can bend the curve on eutrophication and reach a state where the Baltic Sea starts curing itself by 2030”
