SAP MED – Economic Instruments

The SAP-MED Economic Instruments project supported the long-term implementation of the Strategic Action Programme (SAP-MED) by strengthening its financial and institutional foundations. Building on the regional commitment to address marine pollution from land-based sources, the project focused on integrating economic instruments into national planning and policy frameworks.

Working closely with national authorities, international organisations and specialised experts, the project promoted more sustainable and economically grounded approaches to environmental management across the Mediterranean.
