| Scientific/technical activities | CEM NbS Thematic Group study is implementing the NbS Global Standard in case-studies around the globe, including several in the Mediterranean Basin, in the following countries: France, Italy, Greece, Algeria, Spain, Portugal. This project allows different stakeholders groups to get to know the Global Standard for NbS, get the support to understand it and implement it, improve their own NbS interventions and scale up the NbS in the region. In addition, this work will provide insight into the trends of the Global Standard in the Mediterranean Region versus other areas. The findings will support the International Standard Committee. |

| Scientific/technical activities | UNEP-MAP SCP/RAC project: The contribution of the MAVA Foundation’s Mediterranean Programme and the Switchers community to the implementation of NbS in the Mediterranean Basin In the framework of this project, 7 NbS case-studies around the Mediterranean were identified and the Global Standard was implemented. This project helped to: develop a set of recommendations and priority actions to ensure the identified NbS can effectively deliver the expected societal and environmental benefits amidst the COVID-19 pandemic; draw key recommendations for the systemisation and scaling-up of these NbS to make them a central part of the policy and recovery agenda in the Mediterranean. |

Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
So far the acceptation of the contents of the resolution has been very positive either from the public sector as well as from the private one. Nonetheless an important effort should be done on the field to test the validity of the conservation activities framed as NbS in the Mediterranean region. Lack of sound examples/case studies of NbS is a major obstacle from the time being to be widely used by public administration as well as by private companies.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
- Enlarge capacity building training for public and private actors.
- Promote field activities in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and the validity of NbS in the Mediterranean region.
- Increase communication tools on NbS in the region
- Work together with publics administration and private sector in order to incorporate the NbS concept into their business plans.
