Invitation
Half of the Earth’s population is living in coastal areas and the
population density here is the double compared to the global average.
Coastal zones all over the world are exposed to serious challenges
related to over population and to competitive use of resources and
ecosystem services from activities such as agriculture, fishery,
tourism, urbanisation and industry. Sensitive ecosystems and negative
effects from climate change increase the importance of a sustainable
development and the need for an integrated planning and management,
where the needs and rights of vulnerable groups are taken into account.
Through the International Training Programme on Integrated Sustainable Coastal Development (ISCD) we aim at contributing to poverty alleviation, by supporting capacity building for an Integrated Sustainable Coastal Development. During the programme we strive to achieve an active and strong link to the participant’s professional area but also to strengthen the professional exchange between participants, enriching the programme through their different professional and geographical backgrounds.
