The Mediterranean Commission on Sustainable Development (MCSD) is established as an advisory body within the Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) framework, in order to provide advice on programs and prepare recommendations for the Contracting Parties. The MCSD identifies and evaluates major economic, environmental and social problems specified in Agenda MED 21. It aims to track the implementation of the proposals it submits to the Contracting Parties. Furthermore, the MCSD is open to participation from the main groups of the society, which have equal footing alongside government representatives.
Within the limits imposed upon it, the MCSD provides a regional forum for dialogue and a promising framework for defining a regional sustainable development strategy in the Mediterranean. Its regional nature and its composition constitute an innovative contribution to promote the integration of environmental concerns in development policies.
The object of this study is to evaluate the work that has been carried out by
MCSD and understand the complex structure of an institution through which international and regional cooperation and coordination is achieved.
