National and regional frameworks for greening blue economy sectors in Poland and Pomorskie

This chapter describes the key ministries and agencies in Poland who manage the legislative and regulatory framework for the green and blue economy. This institutional mapping provides a rich context for understanding where green and blue economy policies are designed, implemented and monitored throughout Poland. At the national level, both the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Environment have introduced a number of key policy directives related to the green economy. At the local level, voivodeships play a critical role in the implementation of many environmental policies and programmes. Within Poland, Pomorskie is positioned to provide substantial influence on the future of blue and green policies.
