BLUE CONNECT is a Horizon Europe (EU) funded project that aims to enhance marine ecosystem resilience and promote sustainable stewardship of Europe's coastal and offshore habitats through collaboration and involvement with government agencies, local MPA managers and stakeholder groups.

C-BLUES is a Horizon Europe initiative focused on advancing knowledge, understanding, policy implementation and management of blue carbon ecosystems through EU-China cooperation.

BlueMissionAA is building a coordination hub to support the Mission Ocean Implementation in the Atlantic and Arctic Basin. It will focus on preserving and restoring marine and coastal ecosystems and biodiversity for increased climate resilience.

SAfeguard BIodiversity and improve Climate Adaptation in catchment areas under pressure: tools and Solutions

NIVA og NMBU har undersøkt hvordan føringen om å vurdere naturbaserte løsninger for klimatilpasning i arealplanleggingen følges opp i norske kommuner. 

NIVA har sammen med NIBIO og NINA utviklet en sjekkliste for planlegging av større naturbaserte løsninger basert på planleggingsprosesser for Kjelle-engene våtmark og gjenåpning av Kalnesbekken.

ENCORE is led by Karel Viaene at ARCHE Consulting. The objective of ENCORE is to develop a probabilistic modelling framework for estimation of environmental risk of chemical mixtures in watersheds across Europe.

INOPOL (India-Norway cooperation project on capacity building for reducing plastic and chemical pollution in India) is a collaborative project between NIVA, which leads the project, with MGC as India country lead and several Indian institutions (SRM, CIPET, Toxics Link). The project is part of the Norway-India Marine Pollution Initiative established between Indian and Norwegian authorities in 2019. The project is also part of NORAD’s programme to combat microplastics and marine pollution.

INECO (Indo-Norwegian Collaboration Project on Ecosystem Services and Accounting) is part of the Indo-Norway Integrated Ocean Management and Research Initiative. This is a collaborative project between NIVA and the National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR, under the Ministry of Earth Sciences) in India. The aim is to develop capacity and expertise for ecosystem services and accounting to support the blue economy and linked ocean accounting in India.

The European Topic Centre Biodiversity and Ecosystems (ETC BE) is a Consortium of 24 European organisations, led by NIVA and working in partnership with the European Environment Agency (EEA) under a Framework Partnership Agreement for the period 2023-2026. The consortium has expertise in the topic area of terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Biodiversity and ecosystems is one of five strategic work areas in the EEA-Eionet Strategy 2021-2030.

The Norwegian part of the project, coordinated by UiT The Arctic University of Norway and implemented in collaboration with NIVA, explored conflicts related to offshore wind, offshore aquaculture, and oil and gas activities.

As part of the monitoring of the water column along the west coast of Norway, NIVA investigated the extent to which the artificial reefs adjacent to the offshore energy facilities affected the availability of food for three types of cod fish - saithe, ling and tusk. 

NIVA have conducted a literature review to summarise the risks of alien marine species being spread by offshore wind activities.

ProWind, aims to strengthen Norway’s role in offshore wind and establish a unique national infrastructure for research dedicated to offshore wind. In this NGI led project,  the NIVA group will lead the work to develop (and make available for rent) state-of-the-art monitoring technologies for offshore wind focusing on acoustic, visual and oceanographic sensors.
