We believe that a co-operation between these academic units might be a fruitful combination to study the interface between environmental data build-up and policy-making regarding environmental protection and sustainable development. Both KTH and SH have developed large networks of co-operation which would help in the formation of a strong research-profile in the field concerned.<br>We therefore intend to start with a pilot project where the intentions are to formulate well-grounded hypotheses and research questions for a cross-disciplinary project concerning the linkage between environmental scientific production and knowledge-basis of policies, decision making and administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The objects will with varying thoroughness include the following aspects:<br>* An historical overview of (scientific,) environmental &amp; sustainability assessment and reporting in the BSR since 1950. The intention here is to identify various &#8220;phases&#8221; during last half-century inclusive conformity to general Global, Baltic Sea regional (geopolitical) and national socio-economic, political, international security and related societal developments.<br>* Sustainability assessment and reporting at local, national and the regional level &#8211; the state-of-the-art in such practices among various Baltic countries, coherence in practices between the geographical levels, e.g. in selection of issues of concern and indicators.<br>* Recent practices in environmental &amp; sustainability assessment and reporting; indicators, Internet and Geographical Information Systems, networks<br>* Environmental data and information &#8211; an asset, public infrastructure, a resource or a commercial commodity? The objective here is to analyse access to environmental data &amp; information, the legal dimension, ref. the Aarhus Convention &amp; new EU Directive on Access to environmental. info., versus the Soviet Union view of information (=desinformation)<br>* The effectiveness (or impact) of recent environmental &amp; sustainability assessment and reporting. The intention is to assess and evaluate how the end-users are specified\/identified, how the information is presented\/packaged and communicated, how or if the information has an impact upon decision-making processes or awareness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-429","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ostersjostiftelsen.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ostersjostiftelsen.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ostersjostiftelsen.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.ostersjostiftelsen.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
