11:15 - 13:15 Concept	6.G7. Round Table. Strategic planning system for the development of maritime activities in the Russian Federation and maritime spatial planning
	Organizers :  Institute of Maritime Spatial Planning Ermak NorthWest, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Secretariat of the Committee on Spatial Development in the Baltic Sea Region VASAB, ICSER Leontief Centre, RTU MIREA
In the new version of the Strategy for the Development of Maritime Activities of the Russian Federation up to 2030, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on 30 August 2019 No 1930-r, the main priorities for the development of the maritime activities in the long term prospective include transition to integrated planning for the development of coastal areas, based on the land-sea component of strategies for the socio-economic development of coastal regions. The planned transfer of a number of powers for the management of maritime activities from the national to the regional authorities will allow the land-sea component of the strategies to be enriched with specific content. Maritime spatial planning (MSP) is one of the most important tools for solving this problem. The Russian MSP Roadmap currently being developed within the framework of the Baltic MSP platform (Capacity4MSP project, Interreg. Baltic Sea Region program) should give an impetus to the development of maritime spatial planning in Russia and its integration into the international MSP process. The objectives of «the round table» are: • to discuss the main issues and problems of planning for the development of maritime activities in the Russian Federation from the point of view of the national authorities and the coastal entities of the federation; • to elaborate common approaches to maritime spatial planning in the strategic planning system for the development of maritime activities in the Russian Federation in compliance with the main provisions of the Strategy; • to assess applicability of the best international practices in this area to the special Russian conditions, taking into account the spatial heterogeneity of Russia’s maritime complex and regional challenges in developing a blue economy.   Moderators : , Draft Roadmap for the Promotion of Marine Spatial Planning In Russian Federation   , Strengthening international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region on integrated marine environmental management for the sustainable development of the Russian Far East   , Sustainable development of Arctic shipping along the Northern Sea Route and maritime spatial planning   , Draft Roadmap for the Promotion of Marine Spatial Planning In Russian Federation   , Moderators : , Long-term Perspective of VASAB and its Thematic Areas Including Maritime Spatial Planning   , Capacity4MSP Project - Building the Capacity of Marine Planners in the Baltic Sea Region   , Strengthening international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region on integrated marine environmental management for the sustainable development of the Russian Far East   , Tools for the implementation of the ecosystem approach in marine spatial planning for Russian coastal waters of the Baltic Sea   , Monitoring the Confrontation Between WFP Efforts in the Baltic Sea Region   , WFP Baltic Sea Region Roadmap 2021-2030 - Strengthening joint efforts and coherence across the region for the implementation of marine spatial plans   , Aquatorial (marine) planning in the territorial planning system   , Interreg NPA – current and future programme and Blue Economy   ,

Leading Russian business companies pay great attention to developing the regions of presence through: improving the quality of urban environment and infrastructure, developing digitalization and introducing new technologies; social stability and human development; environmental projects; small business and social entrepreneurship initiatives. In 2020, as part of the online stage of the Strategic Planning Leaders Forum, the round table was organized for the first time to assess the contribution of Russian companies to development of territories where they operate. The round table aroused great interest among all participants. To continue a constructive dialogue on cooperation formats and tools of leading business companies with the territories of their operation, it was decided to hold another round table at the Strategic Planning Leaders Forum in 2021 and invite new companies and cities for discussion. Leading business companies gave a special role to developing partnership programmes, creating development institutions, promotion new cooperation formats with local communities jointly with governments and business partners. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the efficiency of cooperation between business and government has broken new ground. The tools for assessing the contribution of business companies to sustainable urban and regional development in Russia are yet to be developed and also need further improvement. Topics for discussion: - The role of Russian business companies in promoting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in the cities of presence. - Checking the efficiency of cooperation between local governments and business amid the COVID-19 pandemic. - Promoting various cooperation tools at the regional level. - Development of tools for assessing the contribution of business companies to sustainable urban development.    , Moderators : , Moderators : ,   , Wooden cycle   ,   ,   , ESG banking for a sustainable region   ,   ,
