Race For The Baltic – Solutions for a healthy Baltic Sea
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.
Our projects are selected based on their cost efficiency and impact potential. If we continue the historic efforts, we can bend the curve on eutrophication and reach a state where the Baltic Sea starts restoring itself by 2030.
In order to ensure our independence and efficiency, we are primarily financed by a small group of philanthropists.
We work in collaboration with researchers, governmental institutions, other non-profit organisations, private sector, and entrepreneurs.
