Social innovation (SI) impacts are long-term changes that affect different dimensions of territorial capital (i.e., economy, society, environment, governance) for the territory in which SI occurs. Yet, systematic empirical evidence and theoretically sound assessments of the impacts of SI are scarce. This paper aims to fill the gap and assess the different aspects of SI’s impacts in European and Mediterranean areas that are characterized by marginalization processes. To assess the impacts of SI in marginalized areas, we use the evaluation framework developed within the Social Innovation in Marginalized Rural Areas (SIMRA) Horizon 2020 project and apply it to nine SI initiatives related to the fields of agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and rural development. Our findings show that SI produces cross-sectoral (societal, economic, environmental, and governmental) and multi-level impacts (on individuals, community, and society), which have improved the societal well-being, and contributed to the reduction of certain forms of marginality, mainly inside the territory in which SI occurred.

Science and technology offer an opportunity to reconcile the protection of marine ecosystems with the development of sustainable maritime activities, through an integrated maritime policy. In this context, the European Commission has developed a strategy with the aim of proposing means for better integrating marine research with maritime research. To achieve this, the EU increases the integration between established research disciplines and improves cooperation between all the stakeholders concerned with seas and oceans. This book focuses on results of 13 projects (This work has received funding from the European Union’s 7th Framework Program under grant agreement No. 288710 and No. 288192, from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 675680 and No. 773782, from the European Union’s INTERREG Balkan-Mediterranean programme under grant agreement MIS 5017160 and from the European Union’s European Institute of Innovation and Technology under grant agreement No. 190880, No. 200805, No. 201166, No. 190836, No. 190744, No. 200068 and No. 200620.) funded by the European Commission. These projects propose concrete measures and mechanisms to improve the efficiency and excellence of marine and maritime research in order to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the oceans and seas. This opening chapter provides an introduction to these projects by first reviewing the goals, partners, methodology and objectives of each of the projects.

This chapter (this work has received funding from the European Union’s seventh Framework Program under grant agreement N° 288,710) describes a decision support tool that was designed and developed for the MERMAID project (EU-FP7), which has already indicated in this book developed concepts for next-generation offshore platforms for multi-use of ocean space for energy extraction, aquaculture, and platform-related transport. Specifically, it evaluated the potential and challenges of building multi-use offshore platforms (MUOPs). The MERMAID project considers four offshore study sites for multi-use offshore platforms, Atlantic Ocean site, Wadden-North Sea site, Baltic Sea site, and Mediterranean Sea site. Each site is considered in terms of its available resources and unique features. This tool was part of the framework for assessing the socio-economic impact of MUOPs and, as such, utilized web and data analytics state-of-the-art technologies in order to provide researchers with a framework for evaluating feasibility and potential of each MUOP’s proposed design and location.

The Mediterranean Sea is a top tourism destination in the world hosting more than 320 million tourists a year, but it’s also one of the most affected areas by marine litter worldwide, polluting its shores and pristine coastal waters. Marine litter is estimated to cause an annual economic loss of €61.7 million to the EU fishing fleet because of reduced catch and damage to vessels, while polluted beaches can discourage tourists with consequent job losses in the sector. In this chapter (This work has received funding from the European Union’s European Institute of Innovation and Technology under grant agreement N° 190880 and N° 200805), two projects funded by EIT Climate-KIC (2020) are being presented. The BL.EU. Climate project addressed the challenge of plastic marine littering in southern European waters by building capacity in three Mediterranean countries: Greece, Portugal and Croatia. The project is identifying the plastic marine littering issue at the very beginning of its life cycle and on the prevention side that can lead to plastic waste reduction and in consequence reducing carbon emissions from both production and waste management stages. The MEDfreeSUP project aims to set replicable voluntary protocols for free single-use plastics food packaging adoption for cafes, restaurants, foods stores, hotel, beach facilities but also public events and public places in three Mediterranean countries: Greece, Italy and Croatia. The project, which is ongoing, provides support and guidance to local business to comply with the EU SUP Directive and to engage Mediterranean islands and cities in the transition towards a free single-use plastic environment. This chapter presents the key findings and challenges of these projects dealing the impact of single-use plastics in Greece, which is one of the projects’ countries.

This chapter summarizes the concluding remarks and recommendations based on the analysis presented in the previous chapters. The chapters (This work has received funding from the European Union’s seventh Framework Program under grant agreement N° 288,710 and N° 288,192, from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement N° 675,680, N° 773,782, from the European Union’s INTERREG Balkan-Mediterranean program under grant agreement MIS 5017160, from the European Union’s European Institute of Innovation and Technology under grant agreement N° 190,880, N° 200,805, N° 201,166, N° 190,836, N° 190,744, N° 200,068 and N° 200,620.) of this book capture a wide spectrum of sustainable (e.g. economic, societal and environmental) challenges related to the seas presenting critical outcomes of marine and maritime research. The analysis in Chaps. 2, 3, 4, and 5 showed that MUOPs can potentially benefit from each other in terms of infrastructure, maintenance, etc. It is clear that the main sources of uncertainty about the viability of the projects are coming from the lack of precise knowledge on the operational conditions of the technology. In this context, MERMAID’s assessment tool provided researchers with an intuitive way to evaluate multiple scenarios that would be hard and time-consuming to assess manually. Chapter 6 presents novel IT applications, which can facilitate producers to engage in the technology race, and Chap. 7 sheds light to the source-to-sea concept, which bridges the chasm for a better integration, cooperation and coordination of activities from the rural area until the ocean aiming at a harmonized and sustainable land-sea area. Chapter 8 focuses on marine research supporting that CES valuation can become an extremely useful tool that can bring to the surface the benefits derived from the cultural aspects of MPAs, while Chap. 9 depicts the key challenges of plastic marine litter. From the analysis carried out in Chaps. 10 and 11, it is clear that the maritime transport sector including ports not only are driving up global temperature but are essential part of the global economies. Ports role will be crucial in the law enforcement through reward schemes and priority entrance to ships complying with International and European regulation. Chapter 12 presents the circular economy approach, which can solve most of the challenges analysed in the previous chapters, and the synergies with the smart specialization strategies. All chapters underline the need for explicit targets and financial plans to be designed aiming at the implementation of ambitious climate and ocean-related targets.

The Oceans of Tomorrow (FP7-OCEAN) initiative aimed to foster multidisciplinary approaches between different economic and scientific sectors and disciplines, maintaining a common focus on marine and maritime challenges. Under this umbrella, three projects were developed focusing on the development of multi-use offshore platforms: H2Ocean, TROPOS and MERMAID. The development of all these three projects included the design of different concepts in terms of study cases and application of the main findings of the projects. The financial aspect of these design concepts was carried out in all projects, but the assumptions made to perform this analysis were quite different among the projects. Although none of the Oceans of Tomorrow projects had the objective to produce a viable proposal from the economic point of view, it is necessary to analyse the possibilities of the concepts developed. A common methodology and parameters need to be used in order to achieve a constancy and homogeneity that allows comparing the results. This chapter (This work has received funding from the European Union’s 7th Framework Program under grant agreement N° 288710 and N° 288192) defines a common financial framework that permits to obtain comparable results of the financial performance of the different design concepts proposed in the Oceans of Tomorrow projects.

Shared multi-use of ocean space is associated with overcoming several complex technical, regulatory, financial, environmental and socio-economic problems. In achieving this goal, several stakeholders of relevance need to participate in the design and implementation of multi-use platforms. This chapter (This work has received funding from the European Union’s 7th Framework Program under grant agreement N° 288710 and N° 288192) reviews and discusses the participatory approaches employed in the MERMAID and TROPOS projects. The discussion draws on the methods employed in each case, the objectives and obstacles encountered resulting in useful conclusions for participatory design.

The water-energy-land nexus requires long-sighted approaches that help avoid maladaptive pathways to ensure its promise to deliver insights and tools that improve policy-making. Climate services can form the foundation to avoid myopia in nexus studies by providing information about how climate change will alter the balance of nexus resources and the nature of their interactions. Nexus studies can help climate services by providing information about the implications of climate-informed decisions for other economic sectors across nexus resources. First-of-its-kind guidance is provided to combine nexus studies and climate services. The guidance consists of ten principles and a visual guide, which are discussed together with questions to compare diverse case studies and with examples to support the application of the principles.

Sustainable management of water resources calls for integration of ideas and approaches and revolves around assessment of causal-effect relationships as tools towards defining informed mitigation options and planning. The current paper presents a new holistic approach developed within the Globaqua Coordination Project that combines indicator-based well-established and tested concepts towards developing informed Programmes of Measures and River basin management plans: a. The DPSIR framework that has been engaged as central instrument to address the Water Framework Directive requirements and the concepts embedded in the Integrated Water Resource Management; b. The Ecosystem Services Approach emphasizing on the links between ecosystem services, changes in ecosystems and human well-being, c. Scenario assessment for valuation of future conditions to ensure the sustainability in the use of water resources. The implementation of the new combined framework in two river basins, Ebro in Spain and Evrotas in Greece, stressed the need for revised options targeting elimination of water pollution, measures to ensure water supply that covers the demand even under conditions of climate change and increased water stress and the need for improved valuation of environmental and resource use costs.

Despite being a natural phenomenon, water scarcity is, to a great extent, human-induced, particularly affected by climate change and by the increased water resources vulnerability. The Water Framework Directive (WFD), an ‘umbrella’ directive that aims to provide holistic approaches to the management of water resources and is supported by a number of Communication documents on water scarcity, requires for prompt responses to ensure ‘healthy’ water bodies of good ecological status. The current paper presents a multidisciplinary approach, developed and engaged within the Globaqua Project, to provide an assessment of the main challenges towards addressing water scarcity with emphasis on the climate change projections, in two Mediterranean regions. The current paper attempts to critically assess the effectiveness of the WFD as a tool to address water scarcity and increase sustainability in resource use. Criticism lies on the fact that the WFD does not directly refer to it, still, water scarcity is recognized as a factor that increases stress on water resources and deteriorates their status. In addition, the Program of Measures (PoMs) within the WFD clearly contribute to reducing vulnerability of water resources and to ensure current and future water use, also under the impact of the projected climate change.

: This paper explores the relationship between the environment and human wellbeing whilst considering water resource pressures in the context of ecosystem services, before assessing the management actions to facilitate human wellbeing under the European Union’s Water Framework Directive (WFD). By focusing on four river basins in four European countries currently working to implement the WFD, we explore the effects of multiple pressures faced within each one on human wellbeing. Under an Ecosystem Services framework, we identify those effects and consolidate them into Human Wellbeing Factors to assess the management actions. Then, by conducting a qualitative content analysis, we assess the effectiveness of each Program of Measures at river basin level and relate them to Human Wellbeing Factors. Findings indicate that factors such as population growth trends intensify the effects of these pressures on human wellbeing. Finally, the paper pinpoints that human wellbeing must remain an ever-present consideration to be weighed against any other competing policy objectives.

The Mediterranean region is anticipated to be (or, already is) one of the hot spots for climate change, where freshwater ecosystems are under threat from the effects of multiple stressors. Climate change is impacting natural resources and on the functioning of Ecosystem Services. The challenges about modelling climate change impact on water cycle in general and specifically on socio-economic dynamics of the society leads to an exponential amount of results that restrain interpretation and added value of forecasting at local level. One of the main challenges when dealing with climate change projections is the quantification of uncertainties. Modellers might have limited information or understanding from local river catchment management practices and from other disciplines with relevant insights on socio-economic and environmental complex relationship between biosphere and human based activities. Current General Circulation Models cannot fulfil the requirements of high spatial detail required for water management policy. This article reports an innovative transdisciplinary methodology to down scale Climate Change scenarii to river basin level with a special focus on the development of climate change narrative under SSP5-RCP8.5 combination called Myopic scenario and SSP1-RCP4.5 combination called Sustainable scenario. Local Stakeholder participative workshop in the Evrotas river basin provide perception of expected changes on water demand under to two developed scenario narratives.

Recent policy developments have taken into account the simultaneous effect of many individual pressures on rivers. On the European level, several directives and measures have addressed this issue while aligning with the goals of sustainable water management. In particular, the need to assess the total economic value of water resources and the impact of the associated policies has been well understood. This chapter discusses the EU policies on water resource management and multiple stressors acting on the river basins, with emphasis on the design and implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and on its socioeconomic and environmental dimensions. The chapter also discusses methodological approaches to assess the total economic value of water-related services and how to implement the ecosystem services approach to reach the WFD goals. Our analysis indicates that aside from significant steps towards the sustainable management of water resources in the EU and despite considering the impact of multiple stressors in river basins, it is still necessary to improve policy design and implementation. Appropriate supportive methodologies must be developed that consider the socioeconomic and environmental dimensions of water policies.

We develop a model for four sustainability paradigms (weak sustainability, a-growth, de-growth, strong sustainability) within a single framework that accounts for responsibility for nature and future generations and for intra- and inter-generational equality. The model is applied in three case studies: the Baltic, the Adriatic and the Black Sea with the aim to identify feasible sustainability solutions for shared seas under alternative sources of environmental pressure and cooperation strategies. The Baltic Sea is analyzed as an example of pollution from agriculture, the Adriatic Sea as an example of over-exploitation of fish in fishery, and the Black Sea as an example of pollution from industry. Empirical results show that different cooperation strategies are feasible in each case and that they yield different results in different context. Also welfare implications vary between different cooperation strategies. The main policy implication of the analysis is two-fold. Environmental conservation must be preferred to environmental innovation, where both intra- and inter-generational equity concerns are unessential. The choice of a different sustainability approaches must be combined with the feasibility of the differently required management institutions, while considerations of the sectoral sources of environmental pressure are essential.

More than half of the global river network is composed of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which are expanding in response to climate change and increasing water demands. After years of obscurity, the science of IRES has bloomed recently and it is being recognised that IRES support a unique and high biodiversity, provide essential ecosystem services and are functionally part of river networks and groundwater systems. However, they still lack protective and adequate management, thereby jeopardizing water resources at the global scale. This Action brings together hydrologists, biogeochemists, ecologists, modellers, environmental economists, social researchers and stakeholders from 14 different countries to develop a research network for synthesising the fragmented, recent knowledge on IRES, improving our understanding of IRES and translating this into a science-based, sustainable management of river networks. Deliverables will be provided through i) research workshops synthesising and addressing key challenges in IRES science, supporting research exchange and educating young researchers, and ii) researcher-stakeholder workshops translating improved knowledge into tangible tools and guidelines for protecting IRES and raising awareness of their importance and value in societal and decision-maker spheres. This Action is organized within six Working Groups to address: (i) the occurrence, distribution and hydrological trends of IRES; (ii) the effects of flow alterations on IRES functions and services; (iii) the interaction of aquatic and terrestrial biogeochemical processes at catchment scale; (iv) the biomonitoring of the ecological status of IRES; (v) synergies in IRES research at the European scale, data assemblage and sharing; (vi) IRES management and advocacy training.
