National Resource Document
National resource documents help local planners, researchers, students, and national authorities with information on coastal spatial planning in the country. In local language it provides material on legal, administrative and institutional aspects, references to case studies, projects having applied coastal spatial planning, and examples of integrating disaster risk reduction, climate change, ecosystem-based management, etc. into national settings.
Conditions for adoption elsewhere:
- Commitment and support from national authorities and other stakeholders
- Dialogue, participation and integration of all stakeholders’ needs
The participatory integration of all stakeholders is crucial to developing tailor-made national resource documents that efficiently correspond to capacities, priorities and needs.
