Adaptive governance creates blue growth in Finland

Let's collaborate!

BlueAdapt is looking for ways to make our research more influential.

The Baltic Sea, lakes and rivers are Finland’s blue resources. Food and energy production and tourism draw on them. The BlueAdapt project (2018-2023) has explored and proposed innovative societal solutions that can improve the sustainability of both aquatic ecosystems and economic and social systems.

A recent example is the roadmap for guiding the blue transition in the sustainability transition, TRAGORA, which analyses key policy gaps and proposes ways to address them in guiding the blue transition – case studies include offshore wind, agriculture, and peat production. The BlueAdapt project is funded by the Strategic Research Council of the Academy of Finland.
