The eMSP NBSR project, implemented from September 2021 to February 2024, provided a platform for marine spatial planners and other experts to collaboratively advance maritime spatial planning (MSP) practice. It addressed five urgent emerging MSP topics through a community of practice-based approach that enabled joint learning across professions and across the North Sea and Baltic Sea areas.
The project's work took into account the European Green Deal, climate change, and how climate-neutrality targets can be addressed in MSP. Planners and experts were supported by a method mentoring team and a scientific advisory board.The Policy Brief, "Climate-smart MSP", presented recommendations on how to make MSP more climate-smart in three blocks targeted as messages to policymakers, marine planners and knowledge providers. Their overarching key message: policymakers, marine planners and knowledge providers can support each other and need each other for making MSP climate-smart. This also requires that marine use sectors and civic actors are made aware and enabled to engage - they are the drivers of both problems and solutions.
