2. Lisbon School WP2 - Assessing multi-level activities in water and biodiversity governance Identify and analyse case studies Main tasks identify and analyse cases within the praxis affiliates integrate the case studies within the wider water and biodiversity governance assess European water and biodiversity governance

3. Lisbon School WP2 - Past case examples Training objectives Better understanding of MLG in water and biodiversity Test the application of the framework Provide basis for a screening exercise aimed at identifying possible cases and linkages to PhD projects For GoverNat To test collectively the strengths and weaknesses of the frame before applying it in greater detail To collect a portfolio of cases on water and biodiversity governance in different countries

10. Lisbon School Other issues to explore Actors involved, their status, power relations Most cases dealt with stakeholder participation Cases of public participation are mainly cases of non- participation Role of resource attributes and different perceptions regarding resources Impact of MLG issues on participatory processes - ex. Monfurado case where participation is hindered with the entry of other levels Most cases reported are cases of failure - the exploration of the reasons for this may provide better understanding and insights for improved approaches....
