TunisiaBlue economy in the Mediterranean: Case studies, lessons and perspectives
In the framework of the « United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)/ Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) 2018- 2019 Programme of Work », the UNEP/MAP Secretariat, through its Plan Bleu/Regional Activity Center, was tasked to identify « case studies » with the ultimate aim of providing a Mediterranean perspective to the main blue economy issues and challenges and developing recommendations for a transition towards a Mediterranean blue economy in line with SDG 14.
Such activity was designed also with a view to feeding the Plan Bleu and UNEP/MAP 2019 Report on the State of the Environment and Development in the Mediterranean, which will include a chapter on economic sectors and the potential for transition towards a blue/green circular economy.
The overall objective of the Report is to assess and highlight the current weight and various opportunities provided by the blue economy in the Mediterranean in support of sustainable development and to showcase a range of concrete examples and good practices of how blue economy works in the region.
