Navigating the policy environment that enables or hinders the implementation of different ecotechnologies in the Baltic Sea Region
The Serious Game System (SGS) serves as a collaborative and exploratory space to support a diverse group of stakeholders with the identification, selection and implementation of ecotechnologies that can both reduce nutrient emissions to the Baltic Sea and reconcile interconnected challenges. The SGS will also enable a co-inquiry into the risks and challenges growing out of the uncertainties and controversies connected to the Baltic Sea region’s marine and terrestrial environments.
This workshop, organised by The Swedish International Centre of Education for Sustainable Development (SWEDESD), Uppsala University, aims to explore opportunities and barriers that the current policy environment presents in relation to the implementation of different ecotechnologies, as well as possible policy changes and their impact on implementation of different ecotechnologies.
