The EU is aiming at a green transition across several sectors of society. This presentation explores the dynamics of the EU legal system in implementing the EU Green Deal. The presentation contends that sustainability transitions promoted and required by the Green Deal will need to carefully navigate the paradox of law driving radical change to sustainability on the one hand and protecting existing economic uses of the marine environment on the other. This is particularly challenging as the EU regimes in climate, energy, environmental and food production law \u2013 in their marine context \u2013 each have a distinct perspective to the use and protection of the marine environment, and EU law does not provide a hierarchy making it possible to prioritise the objectives, legal obligations and drivers between the four legal domains examined here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
