Policy Tools for Integrated Coastal Zone Management Dahlia Lotayef Senior Environmental Specialist & METAP Coordinator MNSSD, World Bank Partnership between EC/SMAP, UNEP/MAP and the World Bank/METAP PROMOTING AWARENESS AND ENABLING A POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT INTEGRATION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN WITH FOCUS ON INTEGRATED COASTAL MANAGEMENT Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Tools and Technical Assistance Packages • Enhancing countries environmental and social assessment capabilities • Tools and methodologies for developing a national policy framework (Process versus final product) • Legal framework • Economic instruments and financial mechanisms • Pre-feasibility studies and investments Cost of Environmental Degradation COED: What’s the objective??? • Help optimize the trade-offs between economic development and growth; well being; and the preservation of the commons • Help decision-makers make informed and efficient choices to maintain the integrity of the environment and promote conservation based on a common denominator: monetizing or valuing environmental degradation, averted and remedial costs Integration of Economic and Environmental aspects The Cost of Environmental Degradation An Indicator for Environment Sustainability Environmental Category: Percentage of GDP 6 Percentage of GDP 5 Water Soil Air Coastal Zone Waste 4 3 4.8% 3.41% 3.49% 3.67% 3.7% 2.74% 2.1% 2 1 0 Tunisia Jordan Lebanon Syria Algeria Morocco Egypt % of GDP of the Area Annual Damage Costs of Environmental Degradation in Coastal 10 Areas 8.8 9 8 7.9 Average Annual CCZED (%of GDP) 7 6 5.2 5 4 3 Low end estimate 4.7 3.8 3.5 High end estimate 2.3 2 1 1.3 0 Algeria Egypt Morocco Tunisia Source: World Bank, 2006, estimates based on data from selected pilot coastal areas Analysis of Results and Data • Variations in COED estimates seem to be larger within (e.g., Coastal Zones) than across countries (implications for regional environmental management) • Data constraints most serious for natural resource related issues • COED results need to be complemented by setting up a forum for stakeholder dialogue that will help reach a consensual arbitrage for environmental preservation and conservation Promotion and Enabling Environment in the Mediterranean countries • In terms of institutional set up: partial vertical (across line ministries and agencies), and horizontal integration (local level, private sector, and public participation) which require efficient flow and communication structures between various relevant stakeholders • Stakeholder pressures identified but appropriate instruments either experimental or missing (discussion forum, sustainable strategies, etc …) • End users receiving poor quality information Promotion and Enabling Environment in the Mediterranean countries • Most aspects of ICZM approach to planning and managing either sought or tentatively being implemented: statutory coastal management plan; Strategic Environmental Assessments; stakeholders pursuing dialogues; etc. • Efficient adaptive and integrative processes not embedded at all levels of governance, • No financial commitments made • Monitoring and evaluation poorly integrated in the process And thank you …..
