Work Package 4 - Transferring Activity 4.2 Transferring Territorial Contracts methodology Version: FINAL - Date:30.07.2021
This document is an intermediate output of the project Interreg MED TUNE UP - Promoting multilevel governance for tuning up biodiversity protection in marine areas, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund via the Interreg Med Programme, and specifically 'Deliverable 4.2.1 - Transferring Territorial Contracts methodology'. The project faces the need for a strategic and collaborative approach to Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) management and biodiversity protection. The core idea of the project is to exploit the feasibility and flexibility of the Environmental Contract methodology in Med MPAs. This methodology, aimed at transferring the Environmental Contracts beyond TUNE UP project partnership, has been developed in the framework of 'WP4 – Transferring' under the coordination of the Department of Architecture of Roma Tre University and with the contribution of all partners. This document resumes the main steps and phases faced by the TUNE UP partnership, coordinated by ANATOLIKI SA, in the implementation of 10 MPA Contracts in Mediterranean countries. For enhancing its transferability, this work has been published in the open access scientific journal U3 - UrbanisticaTre (ISSN 1973-9702) in the section leNote di U3, that is recognized by ANVUR and promoted by Scholars of the Department of Architecture of the Roma Tre University working in the field of the Urban Studies.
