EMSA, together with the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA), , and the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex), has launched the Greening Award Initiative, aimed at celebrating the sustainability actions that are carried out and developed across more than 300 authorities that make up the European Coast Guard community.

Developed in the context of European cooperation on coast guard functions, the Greening Award Initiative recognises projects and activities developed by authorities carrying out coast guard Functions which empower a green transition, contribute to a more sustainable future, and which directly or indirectly support the goals of the European Green Deal.

Announced in the framework of the Annual European Coast Guard Event held in Lisbon in 2023, the Greening Award Initiative is open to any entity or institution executing Coast Guard Functions within the European Union, Norway, and Iceland.
