News The Conference of Parties to the Barcelona Convention: launched the revision of Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development

The Conference of Parties to the Barcelona Convention held in Istanbul in early December 2013 launched the revision of Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development (MSSD and MSSD follow up) adopted in 2005.

The countries bordering the Mediterranean wish to adopt by 2015 a "MSSD 2.0" articulated with the sustainable development goals being developed at the global level. Alongside the Coordination Unit of the Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP), the MAP Regional Activity Centres ​​and other regional institutions, Plan Bleu will be fully engaged in 2014 for MSSD revision.

This exercise is an opportunity to engage more widely around the implementation of the Barcelona Convention and the achievement of good environmental status of marine and coastal ecosystems.

La Conférence des Parties de la Convention de Barcelone réunie à Istanbul début décembre 2013 a lancé la révision de Stratégie méditerranéenne de développement durable (SMDD et Suivi de la SMDD) adoptée en 2005. Les pays riverains de la Méditerranée souhaitent adopter fin 2015 une « SMDD 2.0 » articulée avec les objectifs de développement durable en cours d'élaboration au niveau mondial. Aux côtés de l'unité de coordination du Plan d'action pour la Méditerranée (PAM), des centres d'activités régionales du PAM et d'autres institutions régionales, le Plan Bleu s'engagera pleinement en 2014 pour la révision de la SMDD. Cet exercice est l'occasion de mobiliser plus largement autour de la mise en œuvre de la convention de Barcelone et de l'atteinte du bon état écologique des écosystèmes marins et côtiers.
