Objective
To review and expand environmental research on the Baltic Basin, with special regard to socio-economic aspects; to develop a framework for sustainability in Baltic Europe, including maintenance of maximum flexibility for alternative future use, long-term economic development and preservation of the environment.
The project is composed of the following:
i) build an information base which describes the essential
characteristics of the Baltic Basin and its natural
resource use patterns, and provides a basis for subsequent
evaluations of their associated sustainable
practices and policies;
ii) describe alternative practices and policies required for achieving sustainable ecological systems;
iii) evaluate current practices and policies from multiple points of view to ascertain their sustainability;
iv) recommend mechanisms for promoting the implementation of these practices and policies as appropriate
to each region;
v) identify research priorities needed to address unanswered questions about sustainable ecological
systems.
These activities will be focused on a few selected ecosystems or watersheds, with a prevailing activity, such as
forestry, industry, agriculture. A whole array of stakeholder groups will be involved: scientists, resource
managers and users, decision makers, citizen groups.
Commissioned papers on critical problem areas, seminars, hearings, and workshops create the bases for the final
products that include:
i) mechanisms for conflict resolution in the field of natural resource conservation, restoration and
management;
ii) easy accessible information base on how to approach sustainability for decision makers;
iii) methods for linking of sustainable practices and policies at different scales and among different
stakeholders;
iv) recommendations for multinational research projects and centers. v) recommendations for cooperative agreements, financial incentive policies, and land tenure policies.
