| Résumé : | The unique geography and rich history of the Mediterranean region set it apart from the rest of the world. Unsustainable consumption and development trends, however, threaten the unique ecological assets that are the Mediterranean region’s most valuable sources of strength. The Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development aims to guarantee the health of these threatened assets by integrating environmental concerns into key development decisions. The strategy’s objectives also include ensuring a high quality of life for Mediterranean people without further degrading the environment and within the carrying capacity of regional ecosystems. According to Global Footprint Network’s analysis, outlined in the following pages, the Mediterranean region now uses approximately two and a half times more natural resources and ecological services than what its ecosystems can provide. But our analysis also reveals opportunities for the region. Global Footprint Network’s Mediterranean Program seeks to provide a framework and tools to guide the management of natural resources, economic development and sustainable consumption patterns to realize the vision of the Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development. |
