The Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP) was established in 1975 to address the problems of marine pollution in the region, and the following year, the Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution (the Barcelona Convention) was adopted, under the auspices of UNEP. A Protocol to the Convention was signed in 1980, to cover pollution from land-based sources (LBS Protocol). This publication contains framework guidelines, prepared in accordance with the protocol, designed to help countries in the Mediterranean region to establish comparable national inspection systems for environmental compliance and enforcement.
To mark its 40th anniversary, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has sponsored a new book detailing the history of the Nairobi-based organisation over the last four decades. Written by award-winning conservationist Stanley P Johnson, the book charts the evolution of UNEP from its inception at the landmark Stockholm conference of 1972 to its position today at the heart of the global environmental movement. Entitled: "The First 40 Years; A Narrative", the book - which is not an official UN history but the view of its world-acclaimed author - explains in depth UNEP's role at the forefront of efforts to protect the environment and is stuffed with interesting facts and figures.
The main aims of the conference were to examine present and expected trends in coastal and ocean resource use, to evaluate the state of the art and the expected evolution in theory and practice of management and to discuss scientific and technological developments and their impacts on management.
