Gun Lidestav, Lead Partner Coordinator
Johan Svensson, Chair of Steering Commitee
Others are welcome
Main finding of BL Project in 2012-2014:
o Baltic Landscapes Network, have met support of local and
regional stakeholders and proved their capacities solving
several local problems.
o Importance of problems identified before the project start
have been confirmed.
Main finding of BL Project in 2012-2014:
o Sectorial planning is one of main barriers for integration of
planning in the landscape. Disintegration of landscape
planning is well based in the governance and management
system.
o Landscapes have not any holistic visions of sustainable
development.
Main finding of BL Project in 2012-2014:
o Local territorial planning is often in hands of municipalities
which have seldom capacity for it.
o Consultations with local population is declared but
superficial. Serious debate with stakeholders about
governance in the landscape is missing.
Main finding of BL Project in 2012-2014:
o Implementation of EU strategies, conventions and directives
is getting good response on national level, but meet several
challenges on local level.
o Protected areas are implemented by top down approach
building reluctance toward protected areas and local effort
to block it.
Main finding of BL Project in 2012-2014:
o Green energy - hydropower on rivers, power windmills and
biofuel use - are treated as priorities and implemented
without suitable consideration for consequences for
environment and local society.
o Landscape challenges are similar in other regions like North
West Russia, Mediterranean Sea Region and in Canada.
Project 1:
Integrated planning in Baltic landscapes
Full title:
Integrated landscape planning based on social and
management innovations as way toward sustainable
management of natural resources.
Long-term goal
To foster good governance in forested landscapes
based on integrated and sustainable approach.
Main objective for 2015-2017
To develop new step in integration of planning in the
landscape, based on social and management
innovations in 4-8 examples of Baltic Landscapes.

landscapes
– Research as source and support for local innovations
– Dissemination to other regions
– Proposals for regional and national policies

programs.
Project 2:
Landscape Adaptation to Climate Change
Full title:
Tools for adaptation to Climate Change on landscape
level - Baltic Adaptation Strategy on the ground.
Main objective for 2015-2017
To develop local processes and tools of implementation of
Adaptation to the Climate Change on landscape level based on
combination of experiences of Baltic Climate Change Strategy
and Baltic Landscape Network.
Six fields of local adaptation
•
•
•
•
•
•
forestry
water management
nature conservation
local society
gradual integration of landscape planning
reindeer husbandry
Main results
• Action plans of adaptation for each Baltic Landscapes
• Gradual implementation of adaptation plans in Baltic
Landscapes with feedback to regional and national levels
and dissemination to other regions.
