Black Sea Basin CBC Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme & Black Sea Basin Joint Operational Programme

Aiming to improve the welfare of the people in the Black Sea Basin regions through sustainable growth and joint environmental protection, the Black Sea Basin Programme 2014-2020 is one of the EU Cross-Border Cooperation programmes funded under the European Neighbourhood Instrument Cross Border Cooperation (ENI CBC). The programme supports two main thematic objectives:
 Promote business and entrep

reneurship within the Black Sea Basin;
 Promote coordination of environmental protection and joint reduction of marine litter in the Black Sea Basin. The Black Sea Basin ENI CBC programme 2014-2020 builds upon the previous cooperation framework, integrating relevant lessons learned from the Black Sea Basin ENPI CBC programme 2007-2013 which was funded under European Neighbourhood & Partnership Instrument (ENPI) and aimed to contribute to a stronger and sustainable economic and social development of the regions of the Black Sea Basin. The countries participating in both frameworks are Armenia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Turkey, Ukraine, Romania and Greece.

🌊 Blue Economy in Action: Chengene Skele 🇧🇬
project Blue Gates promotes smart and sustainable growth by supporting innovative blue economy models.
One inspiring example is Chengene Skele, the only preserved authentic fishing village on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, located in Burgas Bay. By combining cultural heritage, eco-tourism, and green maritime transport, the village has transformed into a vibrant, sustainable destination while preserving centuries-old fishing traditions.
✔️ 21,600+ passengers transported since July 2021
✔️ Living maritime heritage preserved
✔️ Sustainable tourism and green mobility solutions
✔️ Strong replication potential for other coastal areas
Chengene Skele proves that tradition and innovation can work together for a stronger Blue Economy. 🌍

What if plastic pollution was our chance to create change?
Microplastics do not stop at borders but neither does collaboration. In the , turned this challenge into action:
🔹 109 patrols mapped pollution hotspots.
🔹 BeECO app and BluE-Map empowered real-time waste tracking.
🔹 1,300+ ambassadors trained to lead.
🔹 Podcast kept the conversation going.
This is infrastructure for impact. The BluE-Map platform is still live, uniting officials, NGOs, and citizens.

🌍 A new step towards cleaner air and water in the !
The project Learn4Sea Project has developed an innovative methodology that brings together air quality monitoring, water quality assessment, and microplastic analysis into a single harmonised framework.
Designed for environmental authorities, researchers and monitoring institutions, the methodology provides practical, evidence-based procedures that:
✅ Assess air and water quality using harmonised protocols;
✅ Introduce an accessible, cost-effective approach for microplastic monitoring;
✅ Improve cross-border comparability of environmental data;
✅ Support environmental policies and pollution reduction strategies across the Black Sea Basin.
The methodology was successfully validated during a pilot action in Tulcea 🇷🇴, with the participation of environmental experts, public authorities and research institutions.

📢 New Resource for Climate-Resilient Cities!
project has launched the Pathway Planning Guide for Local Policy Makers.
The Guide provides municipalities with a practical, step-by-step methodology to:
🌿 Assess urban heat island effects
📊 Identify climate vulnerabilities
🌳 Plan nature-based solutions
🏙️ Develop Heat Resilient Strategies
Created through the collaboration of the LANDLAB team and all project partners, the methodology has already been applied in the pilot cities of Uzunköprü 🇹🇷, Sozopol 🇧🇬, Kavala 🇬🇷, and Batumi 🇬🇪, demonstrating its adaptability across diverse urban environments.
Designed to be transferable and replicable, the Guide will support municipalities across the Black Sea Basin in building greener, smarter, and more climate-resilient cities.
