The Cumulative Effects of Human Activities Knowledge Hub is a group of experts, appointed by their representatives in the JPI Oceans Management Board. Since the beginning in November 2021 the expert group has been working on generating a report with guidelines or procedures on how to assess cumulative effects of human activities. The guidelines target groups are authorities or policy makers who frequently take decisions/ give permits expected to be based on Cumulative Effects Assessments’ (CEA), and scientists who need this tool for further research. To improve decision making, tools need to be available to support decision makers.
The expert group consists of research experts on marine multi-use, developing assessment frameworks for environmental impacts, environmental impact assessment and management of marine renewables, impact on deep-sea, modelling of environmental stressors, and of policy makers with experience from ministries, with implementation of marine policy and Marine Spatial Planning. Multiple of the experts are also connected to the related work of the Common Environmental Assessment Framework (CEAF) and OSPAR.
