- A comprehensive quantitative and qualitative review of the impacts of the various types of flows
- Provide an overview of national and international existing policies and of international implementation activities
- Developing a comprehensive view on what hinders and helps successful implementation of TBM policies in practice
- Develop a more coordinated evidence grounded approach recommendations
- Remove barriers towards Sustainability.
Main Project deliverables:
