  1. Multilevel Governance of Ocean Space, a challenge for the informed society of tomorrowJan H. StelInternational Centre for Integrative StudiesUniversity of MaastrichtThe Netherlandsjh.stel@icis.unimaas.nl

  2. Europe’s EEZ Paradox Largest shared EEZ Maritime policy GOOS - EuroGOOS

  3. Arctic EEZ

  4. The Arctic EEZ and themedia “This isn't the 15th century… … 'We're claiming this territory',"

  5. European Integrated Maritime Policy ….. Work in progress GMES

  6. ‘Top Ten’ of the Ocean States • USA 12.2 my km2 9.83 my km2 • France 10.1 my km2 0.26 my km2 • Australia 8.5 my km2 7.74 my km2 • Russia 7.5 my km2 17.10 my km2 • New Zealand 6.7 my km2 0.26 my km2 • Indonesia 6.2 my km2 1.90 my km2 • Canada 5.6 my km2 9.98 my km2 • United Kingdom 5.5 my km2 0.24 my km2 • Japan 4.5 my km2 0.38 my km2 • Chile 3.6 my km2 0.76 my km2

  7. Ocean Space governance - UNCLOS EEZ enclosure  transition towards Sustainability Common Heritage of Mankind notion ?? Basic Science Planetary boundaries, tipping points, complex societal problems, etc., and transition towards Operational Oceanography Scientists emphasize that the rapid expansion of human activities since the industrial revolution has now generated a global geophysical force equivalent to some of the great forces of nature.

  8. Complex societal problems “To address the complexity of management regimes, it is essential to develop a methodology and collect the information required for the systematic valuation of ocean assets and services” IWCO, 1998, p 115  new approaches for governance

  9. Sustainable development “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without comprising the ability of future” WCED, 1987 Characteristics of SD Long term process Multi-level: micro and macro level Multi-domain: social-cultural, economic, ecological Context specific

  10. Integrated Assessment Philosophy: Mode 2 science or post normal science Uncertainty & normativity  trans- and interdiscipinarity participative approaches explorative instead of predictive broader engagement

  11. Complex societal issues social-cultural domain ecologicaleconomicdomaindomain Integrated Assessment integration

  12. Transition conceptswhen and how do transitions occur? Societal development Macro-level (landscape, trends) Stabilization Acceleration Meso-level (regimes, institutions) Take-off Predevelopment time Micro-level (Niches, individuals) From: Rotmans et al, 2000 From: Geels and Kemp, 2001

  13. Transition process Social capital - technology culture institutions water transport economy energy Economiccapital ecology Ecological capital

  14. Sustainable society? stabilisation acceleration construction water finance mobility waste energy take-off health care tijd 2050 1980 2001 2006 2010 Transitions in action

  15. Transition process Problem structuring, envisioning and organizing transition-arenas Strategic (culture, worldviews, norms and values) Tactical (institutions, networks, structures) Operational (practices, innovations, niches) Developing sustainability images, coalitions and joint transition-agendas Reflexive monitoring, evaluation and adaptation Creating space for niches, mobilizing actors and developing transition-experiments

  16. Problem structuring, envisioning and organizing transition-arenas Problem structuring, envisioning and organizing transition-arenas TM 1.0 Creating space and convergence Arenas, experiments Discourse and culture Developing sustainability images, coalitions and joint transition-agendas Developing sustainability images, coalitions and joint transition-agendas Monitoring, evaluating and adapting Monitoring, evaluating and adapting TM 2.0 Focus on breakthroughs Institutions for transition Upscaling and structural change Mobilizing actors and transition- experiments Mobilizing actors and transition- experiments Transitions in action

  17. CONCLUSIONS • UNCLOS III and UNCED 1992 • Two decades of progress • Two billion more people • SO • We have to speed up! • Education & Outreach • Use IYO, IPY lessons learned • New communication technology

  18. Ocean Space – Human Activity “A great human revolution in just a single individual will enable a change in the destiny of all humankind” Daisaku Ikeda, Japanese philosopher Thank you for your attention
