Gathering about four hundred participants, this second Forum of Mediterranean MPAs was\u00a0 an opportunity for a mid-term assessment (4 years before the 2020 deadline) of the implementation of the Roadmap.\u00a0 This was also the opportunity to update the Roadmap by integrating the issues of the Convention on Climate Change and taking into account the new international agreements adopted since 2012 such as the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.<\/p>\n

The Forum programme was built around the four strategic objectives of the Mediterranean MPA Roadmap:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Establish an ecological network of MPAs which is representative and connected<\/li>\n
  2. Achieve an effective, efficient and sustainable management and a good governance in Mediterranean<\/li>\n
  3. MPAs Develop a territorially and sectorially integrated governance of Mediterranean MPAs while promoting the sharing of environmental and socio-economic benefits<\/li>\n
  4. Increase the allocation of financial resources to establish and maintain an ecological network of effectively managed MPAs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To these four major themes of the Forum, is therefore added as the transversal theme of climate change.<\/p>\n

    As partner and member of Steering Committee, Plan Bleu actively participated in the Forum:<\/p>\n
