Global Footprint Network’s Mediterranean Initiative, launched in June

2010 in partnership with WWF’s Mediterranean Programme Office,

UNESCO, Plan Bleu and Tour Du Valat, is an effort to bring leaders together

to develop regional approach to managing resource dependence and biocapacity.

Among the goals of the Mediterranean Initiative is to bring the reality of

resource constrains into the national and international policy debate.

The initiative will provide decision makers with key Ecological Footprint

and biocapacity data to inform policy issues. It aims to help leaders to understand

how they can work collectively to manage resource consumption and natural capital.
