This targeted analysis aims at collecting new territorial evidence on the socio-economic and environmental characteristics of the Atlantic area, analyse cooperation gaps between the Atlantic territories and institutions at the different levels, and to recommend best governance schemes to contribute to the sustainable development of the Atlantic area.

It is also expected to provide useful guidance for regional and local policy development and initiatives in particular when it comes to cooperation policies and improving the use of EU programmes.
