CrossGov aims to enhance knowledge on how coherence and cross-compliance of marine related policies and legislation affect realizing the Green Deal goals for biodiversity protection, zero pollution and climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Description
A source-to-sea approach ensures that upstream activities, such as agriculture and industrial processes, are managed to prevent downstream impacts on coastal and marine ecosystems.
This session provided insights from three national case studies on how the source-to-sea issue was addressed in the policy and regulatory landscape of Europe. The studies specifically focus on mechanisms to ensure coherence between WFD and MSFD, two directives for achieving good environmental/ecological status – however with different geographical and thematic focus areas.
Speakers:
-Saskia Trubbach – Marine governance researcher at Norwegian Institute for Water Research
-Laura Bastide – Marine policy and resources officer, ACTeon
-Jonas Kyrönviita – Posdoctoral Researcher in Marine Environmental Law, University of Eastern Finland
-Niko Soininen – Professor of Environmental law, University of Eastern Finland
