The project is led by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety. EcoRegion is expected to run during 2009-2011.
The objective is to contribute to develop the Baltic Sea region into the world’s first Eco-Region, where economic growth goes hand in hand with environmental integrity and social justice. A number of selected model regions will implement selected sustainable development measures identified with the help of the cyclical sustainable development management scheme, which is still a new approach within Baltic 21. Baltic 21 sectoral networks will be strengthened and action programmes updated. The Baltic 21 sectors’ and regions’ experience, as well as the Eco Region concept, will be disseminated within and outside of the BSR – with particular emphasis on NW Russia. Work package 6 Policy Development is administered by the Baltic 21 Unit and the administration of the CBSS Secretariat.
During the reporting period, EcoRegion partners held three project conferences. During these conferences regional partners attended training workshops on cyclical sustainability management. Sector partners discussed and developed a database of good practices on sustainable development in the Baltic Sea Region. The database will be launched in the early fall of 2010. Moreover, the EcoRegion project provided substantial input to the CBSS Sustainable Development Strategy, see more above, in terms of organizing the Stakeholder event and funding the background papers except the one dealing with sustainable consumption and production, which was covered by the SPIN project.
