Name
PuBlic and Economic VALue of ChANging Coastal ArEas by stimulating “Green” Blue Citizenship and Sustainable Blue Tourism
Acronym
Blue BALANCE
Description @en
A key question is how to find balance between naturalness/attractiveness of the environment, social and economic needs of the coastline’s stakeholders (industrial parties, communities, tourists, citizens,…) and sustainable innovations and solutions. The Blue BALANCE project aims to guide all stakeholders towards sustainable transitions of the Flemish coastal region to create a social support base and license to operate for sustainable innovation and development.
Description @nl
Een belangrijke vraag is hoe een evenwicht te vinden tussen natuurlijkheid/aantrekkelijkheid van het milieu, sociale en economische noden van de stakeholders van de kust (industrie, gemeenschappen, toeristen, burgers,...) en duurzame innovaties en oplossingen. Het project Blue BALANCE wil alle stakeholders begeleiden naar duurzame transities van de Vlaamse kustregio om een maatschappelijk draagvlak en 'license to operate' te creëren voor duurzame innovatie en ontwikkeling.
