Coherent and cross-compliant ocean governance for delivering the EU Green Deal for European Seas

Project description

Enhancing policy and legislation to achieve Green Deal marine-related goals

The European Green Deal (GD) calls for a deep transformation of policies, including all those that affect the oceans. Responsibilities are dispersed over many levels of governance and many sectors. CrossGov will advance knowledge on how coherence and cross-compliance of marine-related policies and legislation impact efforts to realise relevant GD goals. Methods for evaluating coherence will be applied in studies of coherence of EU legislation and policy, and of national transposition. Case studies of cross-compliance will study the alignment of different directives affecting marine environments and of GD policy integration into sectoral policies. Policymakers and stakeholders will be closely involved, including in recommending improved governance, and in making an analytical toolbox that can be applied by researchers and end-users.

Objective

The three-year CrossGov project aims to enhance knowledge on how coherence and cross-compliance of marine related policies and legislation affect the ability to realise the goals of the EU Green Deal for the protection of marine ecosystems and biodiversity, and to co-create proposals and roadmaps towards this end. A core strength of CrossGov is the close collaboration with the policymaking community that will be engaged in co-creation of knowledge and recommendations for solutions. The background for the project is the complex multi-level and multi-sector governance system created by global and regional international frameworks, the EU and the European coastal states. This policy landscape has not managed to halt the degradation of European seas and will be challenged further by the EU Green Deal’s call for transformative changes. Based on scenarios and methodological guidance for studies of coherence, cross-compliance and scientific advice, the project will analyse how policies and legislation at various levels support or impede progress towards the Green Deal in the marine domain. The practical results of attempts to implement the various requirements will be studied in three regional cases (the North Sea, the Baltic and the Mediterranean), and in five national cases (Finland, Norway, Netherlands, France, Italy). The insights gained will be discussed with CrossGov’s Stakeholder Forum to co-create recommendations for better integrated policies towards implementing the Green Deal in the marine context. The innovative, web-based and fit-for purpose roadmaps and methodological guidelines will enable policymakers to effectively foster environmentally sustainable law and governance that is fit-for-purpose for delivering the societal transformation called for.
