The Large-scale farming offering high economic and environmental performance scientific group (GIS GC-HP2E) brought together a number of participants to discuss these complex issues. This document recapitulates the projects presented, the viewpoints and the scientific contributions made during the meeting.
Economic instruments to support water policy in Europe: paving the way for research and future development | Meetings recap |
Positioned at the interface between science and policy, the workshop provided an opportunity for economists, practitioners, policy makers and researchers to dialogue about the design and implementation of (new) economic instruments in the field of water, as a means to identify: the main policy demands in terms of economic knowledge and expertise, key “success factors” for the effective implementation of economic instruments, pre-conditions for economic instruments to deliver behavioural changes and efficiency gains, and support financing actions for achieving sustainable water management and the ecological objectives of the WFD.
Mesocosms. Their value as tools for managing the quality of aquatic environments | Meetings recap |
This document reviews the advantages of mesocosms for ecology and ecotoxicology studies, presents the needs and expectations of water managers concerning toxic micropollutants, and finally proposes a number of ideas on the use of mesocosms in meeting the challenges involved in ensuring the quality of aquatic environments.
Climate change. Impacts on aquatic environments and consequences for management | Meetings recap |
What will the consequences of the climate change be on the quality and quantity of the waters in France? How will the aquatic ecosystems react to the new conditions? What do these new stakes means for the various human stakeholders in water: managers, service operators, farmers, fishermen?
