OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
In the context of climate change, there is growing 
evidence that many ecosystems could reach the 
“tipping point,” at which sudden and irreversible 
changes have important implications for human wellbeing (www.maweb.org). In this context, the 
environmental issue of concern of the LAGOONS 
project is the anthropogenic deterioration and 
climate change impacts - especially the effects of 
extreme weather events- on surface water and on the 
ecological services provided by lagoons ecosystems. 
Knowledge produced by different scientific disciplines 
will be combined and integrated with local knowledge 
and the views of stakeholders in order to produce 
integrated, participatory  scenarios (by means of a 
qualitative-quantitative-qualitative scenario approach 
supplemented with the science modelling inputs) of 
future possible trends and conditions in coastal 
lagoons in the context of climate change. The main and overall objectives of the LAGOONS project are to develop science-based strategies and decision support frameworks for the integrated management of lagoons, based on an increased understanding of land-sea processes and the science-policy-stakeholder interface. To this end, the project will seek to contribute to the EU Water Framework Directive, the Habitat Directive, the EU’s integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) Recommendation, and the EU Marine Strategy Directive.
 
STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

In Progress

 
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES

seeks how to contribute to the EU Water Framework Directive, the Habitat Directive, the EU’s integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) Recommendation, and the EU Marine Strategy Directive.

LAGOONS will propose actions to tackle bottlenecks in the context of climate change, i.e., LAGOONS will propose actions foreseen in the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy – A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

 Estimation of risks
INNOVATIVE DISADVANTAGE

about the project itself : still strong dissagreement along changes beig derived from anthropogenic sources or just natuallly

EVALUATION OF RISKS FOR OUTPUT USERS

At this stage of progress i wouldnt sepcify that given risks are really a problem. Project is still in an early phase of development

ECONOMICAL RISKSRates of exchange (EUR→???) - 8 different partners
TECHNICAL RISKStesting climatic change and influence on a natural habitat, different languages used - translation might be needed
MARKET RISKS-
SOCIAL RISKS-
