香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播-Med co-organizes a 鈥淪ustainable Coastal and Maritime Tourism鈥 Side Event at 21st Meeting of the Barcelona Convention
Next Tuesday 3rd of December, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播-Med will moderate the side event "Sustainable Coastal and Maritime Tourism to Tackle Environmental and Development Challenges in the Mediterranean Region" during COP 21 in Naples. The event will be held from听18h-19h at听Castel dell鈥橭vo (Sala Sirena).听Co-organized by 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播-Med, eco-union,听Plan Bleu, Global Footprint Network and the French Ministry for Ecological Transition
The purpose of this听side event is to share听recent outcomes, tools, and lessons learned around the topic of Mediterranean maritime and coastal sustainable tourism. In this context, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播-Med will present the second phase of the DestiMED Project (DestiMED Plus), as well as听the MEET Network - two different projects to foster ecotourism in Mediterranean protected areas.听
Indeed, poorly managed and unplanned tourism is one of the key threats faced by Mediterranean natural ecosystems, especially in maritime and coastal destinations, as they are receiving a large amount of visitors concentrated in the peak season and around highly fragile areas. At the same time, alternative and sustainable tourism models, such as ecotourism, can provide significant opportunities to improve livelihoods derived from ecosystem services while benefiting environmental conservation and local development.
The event will also highlight recent opportunities and gaps identified in governance, policy-making, impact monitoring and management, while sharing innovative perspectives on how recent achievements can be capitalized and scaled to broader Mediterranean context in the framework of the Barcelona Convention and other multilateral or voluntary environmental agreements and commitments at global, regional, national or local scale.
Novel approaches and lessons related to sustainable blue tourism and its role in supporting biodiversity conservation and territorial development around the Mediterranean coast will complete the event agenda.
