European Territorial Scenarios and Vision 2050

This project aims to create a territorial vision for Europe in 2050, involving relevant stakeholders at European, national, and regional levels. It combines scientifically-driven scenarios and models with politically-driven decision-making to shape a sustainable future for European territory. The project evaluates policy aims, defines criteria and indicators, and engages in participatory activities with main stakeholders. The goal is to build a dynamic and cyclical vision that guides decision-making towards a desirable future for Europe.

  4. ET2050 Goal FromProject Specifications: The ESPON Monitoring Committee, DG Regio and the ESPON Coordination Unit wish to start a territorial vision-building process that involves relevant stakeholdersat European, national and regional level, having 2050 as time horizon

  5. ET2050 Methodology Scientifically-driven (what may happen in the future?) Politically-driven (what we would like to happen?)

  6. Definition of criteria to evaluate policy-aims • Definition of relative weights (in the ESPON MC frame) • Identification of scientifically sound indicators to measure the criteria (to be calculated with outputs produced by forecast and foresight models) • Evaluation of the scenarios, and based on the evaluation adjustment of the scenarios • Evaluation of the VISION, and based on the evaluation refinement

  7. European Territorial Vision 2050 A Vision is a dream of an ideal future for European territory

  8. Howtobuild a territorial Vision Scientific input (scenariosand models towards 2050) To be presented 13 June, andcfleafletbackground) Existing territorial Visions Cf SIR, chap 9 & annex + poster to commentduring ESPON seminar Other material (ESPON projects, EU documents, OECD, World Bank strategies, ....)

  9. Howtobuild a territorial Vision

  10. Main objective of the the Participatory Plan Scientifically-driven The building process of the scenarios and the Territorial VISION should be cyclical and dynamic allowing the ESPON Monitoring Committee and other main stakeholders to take active part in the of the VISION VISION Scenarios Politically-driven

  11. Participatoryplanandactivities A database: around 800 contacts , including different type of stakeholders (cf specifications); planning practitionner, European Commission, • (including Sec Gen, DG CLIM, DG ECFIN and DG EMPL, as requested by the ESPON CU),Council of the EU (DG G1 Regional Policy Team), European Parliament (REGI Commission), Committee of the Regions, ECOSOC, various other EU bodies/agencies (EEA, etc.), public interest groups (e.g. AEBR, AER, CPMR, Eurocities, Metrex), territorial groupings (Council of the Baltic Sea States, Danube Strategy, Grande Région, Plan Bleu, INTERREG programmes, etc.), non EU international organisations (Council of Europe, International Maritime Organisation, UNECE, UNEP, etc.) various national planning administrations (in particular past, current and coming presidencies of the NTCCP). • Group 4 includes a broad category of “scientific experts”, as well as two specific categories: ESPON project Lead Partners, and ESPON Contact Points.

  12. Contactandconsultations: Parpfirstphase • Spring 2012 first round consultations, +/- 50 interviews (cf FIR synthesis) • Fall 2012: second round consultations: EuropeanCommission , EESC,(cf SIR synthesis) • 2 meetingswith D Huebnerfrom REGI committe of theEuropeanParliament, andcontactwithCoR • Workshopswith MC (cf FIR and SIR)

  16. Twoactivities: Purpose: to collect your views on the desirability of key policy choices NOT about the likeliness Activity 1: rankingandselecting Anonymous individual exercise 35 minutes Activity 2:Mapping: subgroup mixed geographically 70 minutes WorkshopDublin, 12 June

  17. Activity 1: individual, anonymous 11 questions 2 groups of questions 1-6: ranking: relate to Europe as whole 7-11: selecting: betweenpolicychoices alternatives (potentiallyantagonistic), A OR B , atdifferentgeographicallevel no A and B for thesamequestionatthesamegeographicallevel For thesamequestion, Possibility of A for onegeographicallevel, and B for another WorkshopDublin, 12 June

  18. Example: Ranking: • EU Enlargement • Is it desirable to enlarge the EU with new Member States (MS)? YES/Rather yes/rather not/No • Comment: feel free to comment: • questionnaire will be treated qualitatively, not quantitatively WorkshopDublin, 12 June

  24. MAPS: Towards Vision 2050

  25. MAPS: towards Vision 2050 • Which links Europe should favour with • The world • Neighbouring cpuntries • Inside ESPON space • Where to invest in priority in • The world • Neighbouring cuntries • Inside ESPON space

  26. MAPS towards Vision Et 2050 • Which areas shoud be protected (environnement or patrimonial) • At cross border areas with neighbouring countries • Inside ESPON space • Which cooperation to favour at regional and macroregionalevel • Core territory • Ad hoc, larger cooperation

  27. instructions • 3 posters • 4 geographical levels • 5 maps • 15 minutes per geographical level • 8 countries per group • No constraint • Be ‘European’ Vision 2050 oriented, • trying to reach a ‘group’ agreement, • Possibility for specific request, demand, suggestions: poster+questionnaire
