In 2015, the ecological status of 75-90% of surface waters in NW Europe was reported to be less than good. Diffuse pollution with nitrogen (N) and phosphorus(P) from agriculture, together with point sources of N and P pollution from wastewater plants and industry, are a major cause of this failure to achieve good ecological status. Climate change is likely to exacerbate the pollution risk. Clearly, there is a huge challenge to implement effective mitigation measures to reduce nutrient loadings to air and water to meet desired environmental targets against the background of a changing climate. The synergies and tradeoffs between management actions to mitigate climate change and those to mitigate N and P pollution need to be clarified to develop effective local, regional and national policies. Governance arrangements to implement and monitor the necessary actions need to be better integrated, requiring a consistent and coherent set of environmental indicators. The overall objective of NEW-HARMONICA is to assess and co-develop a harmonised systemic approach to prioritizing an effective suite of N and P pollution mitigation measures and indicators to meet local to regional environmental targets. To achieve this objective, an experienced NEW-HARMONICA consortium (4 partners from 3 countries) with complementary expertise, skills and networks will work on 4 N and P-polluted cross-border river basins in NW Europe. All partners are involved in an established NW Europe Policy-Science Working Group (PSWG) who together with local catchment stakeholders play a central role in NEW-HARMONICA. NEW-HARMONICA’s approach is based on a combination of technical assessments, including quantification of N and P flows and load-reduction targets in the study catchments, assessments of governance arrangements, and policy support for the co-development of harmonised environmental policies, based on a strong evidence base and interactions with the PSWG and local stakeholders

据报道，2015年，欧洲西北部75-90%的地表沃茨的生态状况不太好。来自农业的氮（N）和磷（P）的扩散污染以及来自废水处理厂和工业的N和P污染点源是未能实现良好生态状况的主要原因。气候变化可能会加剧污染风险。显然，在气候变化的背景下，实施有效的缓解措施以减少空气和水中的营养物负荷以实现预期的环境目标是一项巨大的挑战。为制定有效的地方、区域和国家政策，需要澄清缓解气候变化的管理行动与缓解氮和磷污染的管理行动之间的协同作用和权衡。需要更好地整合执行和监测必要行动的治理安排，这需要一套连贯一致的环境指标。NEW-HARMONICA的总体目标是评估和共同开发一种协调一致的系统方法，以优先考虑一套有效的氮和磷污染缓解措施和指标，以实现当地到区域的环境目标。为了实现这一目标，一个经验丰富的NEW-HARMONICA联盟（来自3个国家的4个合作伙伴）将在欧洲西北部的4个受氮和磷污染的跨界河流流域开展工作，该联盟具有互补的专业知识、技能和网络。所有合作伙伴都参与了一个既定的西北欧政策科学工作组（PSWG），该工作组与当地流域利益攸关方一起在NEW-HARMONICA中发挥核心作用。NEW-HARMONICA的方法基于技术评估的组合，包括研究集水区的氮和磷流量和减载目标的量化，治理安排的评估，以及基于强有力的证据基础和与PSWG和当地利益相关者的互动的协调环境政策共同发展的政策支持
