Topic 2 · Blue Flag 2027

Climate Action

A completely new topic — it did not exist as its own block in the current scheme.

Applies to B M TB STV

What changes

Shore power and water at the dock (marinas), vegetarian/vegan meals, renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable purchasing policy, climate risk assessment and adaptation measures (coastal erosion, extreme events, sea-level rise).

What stays the same

Connects to efficiency practices that used to appear loosely within “Environmental Management”, but as a block it is new.

Why it matters

For the first time the programme requires formal evidence of climate mitigation and adaptation, not just general good environmental practice.
