Regional policy component

Starting

date:

October 2012

End date Extended until june 2017

Expected

result

Proposal for the integration of SCP in the Regional Mediterranean policy ¬

governance framework are submitted for approval to the Contracting Parties of

the Barcelona Convention. A SCP Road Map for the Mediterranean is developed.

3

Main results of the Regional Policy Component

SCP as one of the key theme of the UfM Ministerial Declaration on Environment and Climate Change (May 14)

Adoption of the SCP Action Plan for the Mediterranean and its Roadmap for implementation at the COP 19 of the Barcelona Convention (Feb 16)

4

Activity 1.2: Integration of SCP proposals into the

UNEP/MAP Barcelona Convention policy and

governance process

1 regional stakeholers consultation meeting with 40 organisations (oct 2015)

2 SCP/RAC focal points consultation meetings + online consultation

Development of 5 drafts of the documents, integrating more than 400 comments from 20countries

Preparation of a Decision to submit the SCP Action Plan to the MAP FP and CPs

Coordination with the MSSD review process

Structure of the SCP Action Plan

51 suggested actions and related regional activities

• 4 consumption

and production

priority areas

• 12 operative

objectives

3 Strategic

objectives

8

Evaluation of the SCP AP

“56. The evaluation will be done on the basis of the

accomplishment of the strategic and operational

objectives of the Action Plan, using appropriated

indicators measuring progress on SCP mainstreaming

and streamlining at the regional level. To this end, the

definition of a set of regional indicators will be

required and will build on existing SCP indicators

frameworks (UNEP, OECD, EEA, etc.). In this

regards, and as suggested during the

Extraordinary Meeting of the SCP/RAC Focal

Points (November 2014, Barcelona), a Technical

Working Group on SCP Indicators for the Regional

Action Plan will be put in place by the Contracting

Parties. Its specific mandate will be subject of a

proposal to be submitted for consideration and

approval by the Contracting Parties; it should include

the establishment of a baseline against which

progress will be measured.”

SCP Indicator Selection: aims

AIMS

o Identify a suite of SCP Indicators for

future use in monitoring national and

regional progresses against the SCP

Action Plan

o Map their current availability in the

21 contracting parties of the

Barcelona Convention as well as in

Jordan and Palestine

o The aim IS NOT to come up with

new indicators BUT rather identify

those existing indicators that will

best support SCP monitoring in the

region, while ensuring consistency

with other processes (e.g., SDGs)

10

SCP Indicator Selection: timeline

Desk Work

Consultations

Adoption

o Review preliminary list of

indicators on October 17th

o Revised list shared by end of

November for 2nd round of review

o Written consultations with National

SCP Focal Points and SCP

experts by December 23rd

o Final list of indicator and mapping

exercise completed by mid

February 2017

o Review at various meetings of the

MAP governance process in

before final consideration at the

2017 Barcelona Convention COP

11

SCP Indicator Selection:

the approach used

Overall, preference was given to compile a

comprehensive list of indicators theoretically apt for

tracking SCP

o SCP-related indicators were taken from SDG 12 and

coupled with SCP-relevant indicators from the other

SDGs

o The UN SDGs Report 2016 was reviewed to get a

better sense of data availability for the agreed SDGs

indicators

o Other non-SDGs, SCP-relevant indicators provided

and/or promoted by international organizations were

identified and added to the list

o Final indicator list compared with BE indicators and

indicators computable from the SEEA

12


the approach used

1) SECTORS vs. TRANSVERSAL

THEMATIC AREAS: Indicators

can be applied to multiple sectors

and they are defined on the basis

of their research question – that is

the parameter/theme they aim to

measure: as such they have been

grouped by transversal thematic

areas rather than the sectors to

which they are applicable.

2) A short set of thematic macro-

indicators, possibly useful in

communicating SCP progresses,

has also been included

Transversal issues

• Land use;

• Water efficiency;

• Resource efficiency;

• Energy efficiency;

• Pollution (generated by waste water, chemicals, solid waste, etc.).

• Transportation & Mobility

• Consumer Behavior.

Transversal issues

• Land use;

• Water (Efficiency)

• Energy (efficiency)

• Pollution

• Resource (Efficiency) – Terrestrial

• Resource (Efficiency) – Marine

• Behavior (Consumers & Producers)

13


scope of this workshop

o Gather feedbacks on the selected indicators and inputs on the

availability of these indicators within countries

o Per each indicator, we would like to know whether it is:

useful and measurable,

useful but not measurable

not useful

o In few instances, alternative indicators have been presented for

a single parameter; only one to be selected.

o Additionally, we would like to gather feedbacks on which

Ministry/department in each nation is responsible for reporting

on each indicator

workshop scope & next steps

o Gather feedbacks on the selected indicators

Are there indicators that should be removed?

Any missing indicator?

o More specifically, we would like to know whether selected

indicators are:

useful and measurable,

useful but not measurable

not useful

o In case of alternative indicators for a single parameter:

Which indicator should be kept and which one removed?
