Description
Summary:OSPAR Intersessional Correspondence Group – Cumulative Effects (ICG-C), part of OSPAR commission Environmental Impact of Human Activities (EIHA), is seeking for common approaches on (cross-border) cumulative effects. At the OSPAR ICG-C meeting of 12-13 December 2012 (Copenhagen), three cumulative effects assessment (CEA) methods have been discussed: CUMULEO; ODEMM; and HARMONY. It was concluded that a case study could help in finding best available approaches and tools within the three methods for a specific question. This report describes the case study based on the CUMULEO method.
