Exchanging information on coastal areas

Description

Exchanging information on coastal areas involves systematically sharing data, research findings, and best practices among stakeholders to address challenges such as erosion, pollution, habitat loss, and climate impacts. This strategy enables timely identification of risks, coordination of management efforts, and informed decision-making. By facilitating access to accurate and up-to-date information, it supports the development of effective policies, enhances disaster preparedness, and promotes sustainable use and conservation of coastal resources.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
