What challenges/obstacles have been encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and how were they overcome :
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.
Briefly describe what future actions are 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.
Are these actions planned for yet:
