The Natura 2000 network and the prevention and fight against forest fires
The present document is the thematic report for environment elaborated within the 3-1 activity of the MEDGOVERNANCE project.
Therefore, this report aims at presenting today’s actual contribution of regional actors in the “governance” of environmental policies impacting the Mediterranean territories. Governance can be defined as the coordination systems existing between government, local and regional authorities, multilateral organizations but also private actors, companies and NGOs allowing to produce public policies, decisions and projects. Coordination between this plurality of actors can be either institutionalized or ruled by procedures and even informal rules. As for the thematic field of environment, two cases studies were identified and analysed: Natura 2000 and the governance in the prevention and fight against forest fires. These cases studies represent two interesting examples of coordination systems among actors at different levels (vertical and horizontal) and are though particularly relevant from the point of view of the multilevel interactions in place.
