Project Details

Layman's description

BlueGreen Governance (BGG) is a Horizon Europe funded project that aims to develop innovative land-sea governance schemes based on scientific evidence and societal choices that link marine policies with the management of the land and inland waters.

Extended description

The current management of oceans, seas and coasts is fragmented across multiple institutional layers and policy areas, and based on past experience. BlueGreen Governance therefore pursues an innovative approach to the governance of the seas and coastal areas that:

· promotes integration between institutional layers and across policy sectors with a clear impact on the use of the land and the sea;

· involves and engages citizens in decision-making processes, while at the same time including scientific evidence;

· responds predictively to changing physical conditions as indicated by scientific evidence on major environmental challenges as well as indigenous and local knowledge and citizen science;

· and uses e-governance tools in support of the previous three points.

With this focus and approach, the project responds to the need for better-informed decision-making processes, social engagement and digital innovation while promoting more harmonious and effective science-policy-society interfaces. The promotion of better science-policy, science-society and society-policy interactions will be embedded in the digital transformation and application of e-governance tools for codesign and service delivery.
