The SPA/RAC is launching a call for consultation to develop an assessment of the legal and institutional framework for the establishment of Marine and Coastal Protected Areas (MCPAs) in Libya.

The legal framework in Libya being obsolete, there is a clear need to update it to adapt with the current challenges and institutional arrangements, especially in harmony with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework along with the Barcelone Convention Post-2020 SAPBIO and Post-2020 MCPAs/OECMs strategy and the needs for countries to strengthen their legal and institutional capacities to meet their global targets by 2030.

This initiative is supported by the GEF-funded MedProgramme Child Project 3.1 “Management Support and Expansion of Marine Protected Areas in Libya”.
