dc.description.abstract | The objective here is to present how various hazards
affecting coastal areas impact the local communities
in selected countries, and how these matters are being
managed by national, regional and local governmental
institutions. This analysis was conducted for nine countries,
namely Bangladesh, Costa Rica, Gabon, Ghana, Lebanon,
Myanmar, Senegal, Uruguay and Venezuela. The information
is organised in nine national chapters with a similar
structure: first, a general presentation of the country and
its coastal zone; secondly, an overview of the main natural
hazards affecting their coasts; then, the management of
such hazards is described at national and local level; this is
followed by a description of concrete adaptation measures;
and, to conclude, some final remarks to reinforce key ideas
or set guidelines for future governance in the country.
From the perspective of the local communities, this
publication also intends to present lessons learnt and
good practices emerging from the national experiences
with natural hazards affecting the coastal zone. This work
is part of the activities led by the MSPglobal Initiative of
the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)
of UNESCO and European Commission, and is supported
by the Government of Sweden. It relates to the projects
2020 Regional and global development actions in support of
Ocean Literacy for all and the Joint Roadmap on marine spatial
planning process worldwide in the context of the UN Decade of
Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
To carry out the work, IOC-UNESCO gathered a group of
international consultants from various backgrounds related
to marine sciences to review previous and ongoing national
public strategies, plans and actions dealing with coastal
Location map zone management, coastal risk
management and conservation
of coastal areas. Scientific
publications and technical
reports addressing coastal
hazards and the vulnerability of
coastal communities were also
considered in this review, as well
as publications by diverse bodies
of the United Nations. Finally, the
international consultants of each
analysed country also obtained
and examined the perceptions
of scientists, civil society actors,
municipality managers and
technicians, and representatives
of coastal communities through
a series of interviews aimed at
providing additional information
drawn from the bibliographic
analysis. These stakeholders were
requested to assess current and
future risks, identify key priorities requiring intervention
and highlight potential recommendations based on their
experience in their respective sectors and institutions | en_US |
