Goals and Objectives

The rapid increase in economic activity and the growth rate of Black Sea countries have brought many opportunities and many challenges to the region. The Black Sea is very vulnerable to pressure from land-based activity and its sustainability is dependent on the well-being and good governance of coastal and non-coastal states of its basin. The implementation of sustainable development policies is extremely critical for the countries of the region. Clearly, unless development is secured in a sustainable way, the goods and services provided by the environment for many economic activities would be jeopardized, impacting the social and economic welfare of the inhabitants of this strategic region.

Seminar Structure

The Programme has been designed based on a multi-stakeholder approach, by bringing government officials and business people together in order to showcase the importance of partnership to achieve the goals of sustainable development.

Special focus will be given to both practical and technical knowledge. It will not only provide general theoretical and practical information on various policies and instruments of sustainable development, it will also enable the participants to benefit from best practices and case studies from the region as well as from the EU member countries.
