The report, published in December 2024 by BRIDGE-BS project's partner Stratégies Mer et Littoral, explores four distinct scenarios for the future of the Black Sea's Blue Economy. These scenarios are shaped by various governance and innovation pathways, illustrating potential trajectories for maritime and coastal sectors under different environmental, economic and socio-political conditions. The study combines robust methodologies, scenario-building and stakeholder perspectives to provide a forward-looking tool for discussing challenges and opportunities for a sustainable Blue Economy in the Black Sea by 2050.
