Communication and a bottom-up approach can solve most challenges that occur in Agri-Environmental Projects – sharing the findings of Baltic Compass and Baltic Compact.
The EU-Projects Baltic Compass and Baltic Compact developed a communication concept for bottom-up project planning and for the improvement of farmer´s involvement in agri-environmental projects and policy.
Information on bottom-up organisation and communication was gathered at project, implementation and policy-making level via:
Baltic Challenges and Chances for local and regional development generated by Climate Change (In Short: BalticClimate) was an Interreg IV B Project. Leadpartner of the project was the Academy of Spatial Research and State Planning (Akademie für Raumforschung und Landesplanung, Short: ARL). Climate Change changes the environmental conditions under which institutions and enterprises operate. The project therefor aimed at supporting decision makers, spatial planners and enterprises with coping with and adapting to the changes introduced by climate change.
Benefit4Regions er et dansk-tysk Interreg 5A projekt, som fremmer samarbejde mellem danske og tysk institutioner med hensyn til landdistriktsudvikling. 11 projektpartnere og 29 netværkspartnere fra den dansk-tyske Interreg 5A programregion har sluttet sig sammen i projektet Benefit4Regions for at udvikle fælles løsninger til vitaliseringen af landdistrikterne. Landdistrikterne i både Danmark og Tyskland møder lignende udfordringer, som de dog håndterer på forskellig vis. Disse forskelle er en mulighed, da de er et grundlag for lærings- og innovationsprocesser.
Promoting Spatial Development by Creating COMmon MINdscapes (Kurz: COMMIN) was an Interreg III B Project working toward improving the mutual understanding of planning processes in the baltic sea region. To that end information channels and transnational communication was fostered, aided by the multidisciplinary composition of the project group comprising administrations, ministries, research institutes and businesses. The partners came from 11 countries along the baltic sea region, namely Belarus, Finnland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia, Denmark, Sweden and Germany.
Demographic change and limited public finances endanger the accessibility of services, goods and social life in remote and rural areas of the Baltic Sea Region (BSR), contributing to an ongoing process ofperipheralisation. In this context it becomes increasingly difficult for regional and local authorities to ensure individual "people-to-service" mobility (i.e. enabling inhabitants to reach services and public goods) as publictransport options are thinned out and services are concentrated in urban centres which are difficult to reach for villagers.
Der Tourismus stellt mit prognostizierten Jahreszuwächsen von 3,4 Prozent bis zum Jahr 2030 (UNWTO, 2014) weltweit einen der größten Wirtschaftszweige dar. Trotz vieler Stärken liegt im Tourismusgewerbe in der Programmregion weiterhin Wachstums- und Entwicklungspotenzial, wenn man den Wünschen und Bedürfnissen des neuen Typs von Touristen gerecht werden will. Wir wollen das Gebiet der westlichen Ostsee zum besten Resort für modernen Küstenaktivurlaub in ganz Nordeuropa entwickeln.
Das Interreg 5A Projekt "Tourism Cross-Border" befindet sich derzeit in der Entwicklung.
