User-driven applications and tools for Climate-Informed Maritime Spatial Planning and integrated seascape management, towards a resilient & inclusive Blue Economy

Project description

Engaging citizens in blue economy strategies in coastal regions

The blue economy holds significant importance for coastal regions as it contributes to climate change mitigation efforts. With this in mind, the EU-funded OCEANIDS project will develop applications and tools to assist regional authorities and stakeholders in fostering a more resilient and inclusive blue economy in coastal areas. Central to this effort is the creation of a decision support tool known as the OCEANIDS Decision Support Platform. This platform will aggregate and curate existing climate data services, making the data accessible for the development of local adaptation strategies. The project also emphasises inclusive and deliberative governance by facilitating engagement and dialogue between citizens and stakeholders. To achieve this, it employs case-specific tools such as social networks and harnesses local citizens’ assemblies for bottom-up deliberation, fostering a culture of civic engagement.

Objective

OCEANIDS aims at building user-driven applications and tools, which act as an enabling technological layer for regional authorities & stakeholders in order to achieve a more resilient and inclusive systemic pathway to a Blue Economy in coastal regions.
Brining spatial and non-spatial data & services under a single-access window platform for Climate-Informed Maritime Spatial Planning (CI-MSP), the project will allow a more integrated seascape management of coastal regions. The project delivers a Decision Support tool (the OCEANIDS Decision Support Platform - O-DSP), with an over-arching target to collect, harmonise and curate existing climate data services, making data accessible, reusable and interoperable for the development of local adaptation strategies. OCEANIDS facilitates access to knowledge, data & digital services critical for better understanding and managing climate risks, enhancing adaptive capacities and sup-porting transformative innovations.
In addition, OCEANIDS sees inclusivity as an enabling, and required, factor towards a Blue Economy. The project has a strong focus on behavioural change, both on individual as well as on a systemic level, en-abling participating regions and communities to better understand and use potential social tipping points and systemic leverage points to accelerate transformative changes towards climate resilience. To achieve this, it promotes inclusive and deliberative governance through meaningful engagement and dialogue between citizens and stakeholders. This will be achieved using case-specific tools (i.e. ephemeral social networks) leveraging local citizens assemblies for bot-tom up deliberation, cultivating a culture of civic engagement, thus empowering individuals to take action in their own communities. Finally, the project will contribute to mobilising sustainable finance and resources towards adaptation at scale and closing climate protection gap.
