CrossGov - Coherent and Cross-compliant Ocean Governance for Delivering the EU Green Deal for European Seas : The CrossGov Policy Coherence Evaluation Framework - A methodological framework to assess policy coherence and cross-compliance with the

Achieving the European Green Deal objectives for biodiversity, climate change and pollution requires that progress in one policy area does not adversely affect progress in other areas. This deliverable provides the CrossGov project partners with a methodological framework for the evaluation of policy coherence and cross-compliance. The CrossGov Policy Coherence Evaluation Framework offers a comprehensive methodological approach to the assessment of policy coherence to better understand where in the policy cycle or at which governance level problems or challenges of coherence emerge and where such challenges can be resolved. To enable this, the evaluation framework has been developed based on three components: 1) coherence attributes and variables to assess, 2) guiding questions to support the assessment and 3) a simplified coherence scoring.
