Summary:
The three-year CrossGov R&I project aims to enhance knowledge on how coherence and cross-compliance of marine related policies and legislation affect the ability to realise the EU Green Deals goals for the protection of marine ecosystems and biodiversity, and to co-create proposals and roadmaps together with the CrossGov Stakeholder Forum for more consistent and integrated approaches towards this end. The analyses and proposals will be conducted in the context of the multilevel governance system encompassing various sectors, composed by global and regional international frameworks, the EU and the European coastal states with their different national arrangements. The project addresses governance in three European marine regions: the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. The core strength of CrossGov is the close collaboration with the policymaking community and the production of co-created knowledge and solutions through innovative, web-based and fit-for purpose roadmaps and methodological guidelines. This will enable policymakers to effectively foster environmentally sustainable law and governance that is fit-for-purpose for delivering the societal transformation called for in the GD. Through the development of analytical and methodological guidelines for the studying of coherence and cross-compliance, CrossGov will develop a comprehensive and innovative research model. This model is expected project will enhance knowledge on, and reinforce, cross-compliance, coherence and innovation in EU marine governance to strengthen the resilience of European seas and facilitate the implementation of EUs Green Deal. The research brings forth innovative methodologies to systematically identify, analyse and remediate weaknesses, gaps, and inconsistencies in law, policies and decision- and policymaking processes to halt the degradation of European seas and facilitate cross-compliance within and across biodiversity, pollution and climate related laws and policies.
