Green growthstrategy as innovationchallenge (Green Growth Knowledge Platform 2013) Green growth requires that public agencies are • (1) able to price externalities and value environmental assets, • (2) stakeholders are able to find innovations (technological, business and social innovations) to break unsustainable development paths, • (3) the creation and dissemination of new environmentally sustainable technologies, goods and services, • (4) sectoral shifts and changes in comparative advantage that inevitably imply winners and losers.

Stages of Public Policy for the BalticSeaPolitics Typical stages of public policy are: • (1) Agenda setting, • (2) policy formulation, • (3) decision-making, • (4) policy implementation and • (5) monitoring and evaluation.

Some POLICY recommendations • Co-operation in the field of the development of social innovations (education, employment and jobcreation) is a challengingissue in the BalticSearegion: morestrategicco-operation is neededamong BS partners • Moreproductiveuse of innovation and R&D allocationsareneeded in nearfuture • BalticSeacountriesshould position themselvesmoresystematically and aggresively in the globaltradearena • The BalticSeacountriesarekeyplayers in the EU´sinnovationpolicyarene: theyshouldgetmoreattention inside in the R&D/innovationfield the European Union • Green Growthchallenge is a sharedchallenge in the BalticSeacountries: Green Growth Knowledge Platformneedsmorepoliticalattention in the BalticSeaco-operation
