Implementing the Strategic Action Programme for the South China Sea

About this project

The South China Sea is a unique environment with rapid economic development and rapid population increase in the coastal areas during the past two decades and with rapid degradation of marine and coastal environments. The South China Sea is shared by many countries, and the environmental problems they have are common and of a transboundary nature with similar root causes. Recognising that actions are urgently needed to halt degradation of the environment of the South China Sea, the countries of the region sought the assistance of UN Environment (UNEP) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and formed the Secretariat for the Coordinating Body of the Seas of East Asia.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to assist countries in meeting the targets of the approved Strategic Action Programme for the marine and coastal environment of the South China Sea through implementation of the National Action Plans in support of the programme, and strengthening regional co-ordination its implementation.\n
