This document provides some guidance on the steps to be taken in including climate change related issues into the ICZM process. It is based on the view that climate adaptation measures should be an integral part of the process and not an add-on or a separate component. The structure adopted is that used by the Integrative Methodological Framework for coastal, river basin and aquifer management and by the Guidelines for the preparation of National ICZM strategies [1] (henceforth referred to as the IMF document), which identify the following key steps:

ESTABLISHMENT: Aim & Objectives

  • Establishing coordination mechanisms
  • Defining territorial scope
  • Defining governance context
  • Scoping
  • Engaging Stakeholders
  • Proposing the vision
  • Decision on Strategic Environmental Assessment

ANALYSIS & FUTURES: Aim and Objectives

  • Building the evidence
  • Identifying futures

SETTING THE VISION: Aim & Objectives

  • Building consensus
  • Setting the direction
  • Measuring success

DESIGNING THE FUTURE: Aim & Objectives

  • Formulating ICZM Strategies, Plans or Programmes
  • Establishing Management structure
  • Embedding

REALISING THE VISION: Aims and Objectives

  • Implementing
  • Investment and Infrastructure
  • Acting
  • Monitoring and Review


The IMF document notes that actions related to climate change need to be integrated in the respective frameworks. The present report goes through each of the stages listed above and indicates how the climate change dimension should be addressed, both at the strategy stage as well as in the preparation of the coastal plans at both the national and local levels. In both cases the context is the Mediterranean.

  1. The ICZM process has been presented in the three related documents prepared by the Priority Actions Programme: “Towards Converging Management Approaches for Mediterranean Coastal Zones: An Integrated Methodological Framework for coastal, river basin and aquifer management”, April, 2012; “Guidelines for the preparation of National ICZM Strategies required by the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) Protocol for the Mediterranean”, June, 2011; and “ICZM Process” (PEGASO Platform).
