Description
The BlueGreen Governance (BGG) project, promoted within the Horizon Europe framework, addresses the multi-level fragmentation between institutions and political sectors to enhance the management of oceans, seas, and coasts. The project aims to develop innovative land-sea governance schemes based on scientific evidence, involving citizens in decision-making processes. Specific objectives include identifying institutional barriers and enablers, co-designing innovative governance schemes in collaboration with scientists and other stakeholders, and implementing policy experimentations in various European regions and sea basins. Additionally, the project seeks to promote institutional change and policy reforms in land-sea governance beyond policy experimentations. A notable case study is the creation of a connected network of wetlands in the Valencian Community. The BGG project aims to link marine policies with the management of land and inland waters, drawing lessons on how to trigger and facilitate institutional change and policy reforms for better marine policies. This comprehensive and participatory approach promises significant advancements in environmental governance and the sustainability of coastal ecosystems.
