Baltic Compass Work Package 6, Governance and Policy Adaptation, has gathered together six national reports. The reports examine the challenges faced in implementing agri-environmental targets in the Baltic Sea countries.
The reports examine the challenges faced in implementing agro-environmental targets to reduce environmental impact from agriculture embedded in EU level programmes and policies, the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan and national target programmes. The aim is to offer a situation analysis on lessons learned on the implementability of agri-environmental targets in each country. Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have all reviewed their agri-environmental policies via the analysis of targets and measures adopted in programmes and policies, such as the Rural Development Programmes. The main findings of the reports have been derived from consultations with implementing agencies and discussed with key stakeholders in order to identify the main challenges.
The reports are based on the following guiding questions:
• Are the agro-environmental policy targets set appropriately?
• Do they reflect the needs of environmental stakeholders?
• Is the policy implementation impact monitored properly?
