#OceanAction41212
Description
For this reason it is important to systemically strengthen capacities of spatial planners, local administrations and civil sector representatives for prevention, remediation and renewal of inadequately urbanised areas. The central part of this priority action is development of a practical handbook which should guide the existing remediation and renewal activities for inadequately urbanised areas.
Activities
1. Develop a handbook defining the possible scope of intervention which, among others, may include:
2. Raising standard of areas in public use (street network reconstruction, planting tree alleys, arrangement of park, landscape and recreational areas, cycling paths, arrangement of promenades, particularly along the coast, beaches and bathing areas,...);
3. Activities of functional maintenance and beautification of private areas and objects (faade restoration, cleaning, arrangement of gardens and yards, energy efficiency improvements);
4. Restoration and maintenance of infrastructure systems;
5. Comprehensive restoration projects of predominantly construction nature that link, depending on local conditions, social, economic, protection, cultural and spatial aspects.
6. Remediation of illegal construction will soon gain on importance, especially in semi-urban areas closer to the coastline, including their communal equipping, public areas development, particularly green ones, transport network reconstruction, etc.
7. The importance of quality urban and architectonic design, and especially of preservation, looking after and improving inherited construction culture and spatial identity of settlements and areas should be emphasised in the handbook. It is necessary to sum up experiences compare them with similar projects from other countries, particularly in relation to formalising illegally developed areas. The basic criteria in proposing solutions must be their viability.
8. Professional development and capacity building activities, in the form of workshops, can be implemented when working materials for the handbook are prepared. It is desirable to elaborate additional practical examples as a result of workshops, particularly as a result of interaction of planners and architects, representatives of local administrations and NGO sector.

SDGS & Targets
Goal 14
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
14.1
By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
14.1.1
(a) Index of coastal eutrophication; and (b) plastic debris density
14.2
By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
14.2.1
Number of countries using ecosystem-based approaches to managing marine areas
14.3
Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels
14.3.1
14.4
By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics
14.4.1
14.5
By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information
14.5.1
14.6
By 2020, prohibit certain forms of fisheries subsidies which contribute to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminate subsidies that contribute to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and refrain from introducing new such subsidies, recognizing that appropriate and effective special and differential treatment for developing and least developed countries should be an integral part of the World Trade Organization fisheries subsidies negotiation
14.6.1
Degree of implementation of international instruments aiming to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
14.7
By 2030, increase the economic benefits to Small Island developing States and least developed countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism
14.7.1
Sustainable fisheries as a proportion of GDP in small island developing States, least developed countries and all countries
14.a
Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
14.a.1
14.b
Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets
14.b.1
Degree of application of a legal/regulatory/policy/institutional framework which recognizes and protects access rights for small‐scale fisheries
14.c
Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources by implementing international law as reflected in United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources, as recalled in paragraph 158 of "The future we want"
14.c.1
Number of countries making progress in ratifying, accepting and implementing through legal, policy and institutional frameworks, ocean-related instruments that implement international law, as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, for the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and their resources
