Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Marine Spatial Planning : Supporting Biodiversity and Healthy Ecosystem Services in Oceans and Coasts

This report presents an overview of climate-informed marine spatial planning (MSP), a participatory process that considers current and future climate risks and opportunities during design, planning, and implementation. Climate considerations in MSP harness the economic opportunities of the decarbonization pathway, while responding to the growing challenges of climate change through adaptive and integrated ocean management.

The aim of this World Bank report is to provide insights regarding the types of interventions governments have already implemented and policy considerations for supporting the recovery and resilience of the tourism sector going forward, particularly in light of structural demand and supply-side transformations precipitated or accelerated by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The report studies the challenges for recovery faced by governments and the sector from the context of preexisting market and government failures that have been exacerbated by the crisis, as well as those emerging from the pandemic. The report includes several key findings and recommendations.
