Policy

As representatives of local governments from around the North East Atlantic and Baltic Sea, we raise a united voice at international, European and regional decision making bodies.

From the IMO and UNEP to the EU institutions and the OSPAR and HELCOM regional seas conventions, KIMO stands up for the interests of municipalities at all levels.

KIMO policy is agreed by our members through the passing of resolutions at our Annual General Meeting. For more than 30 years, KIMO members have passed resolutions on a wide variety of issues affecting the marine environment. Our most recent resolutions are available to download below.
