Regional training on Biodiversity Inclusive and Climate-Smart Marine Spatial Planning for Latin America and the Caribbean

Résumé

A 2-day course aiming to strengthen the capacity of MSP practitioners and decision-makers to integrate biodiversity conservation, climate adaptation and mitigation, and inclusive governance into planning processes. Building on the MSPglobal International Guide and its complementary volumes on Biodiversity Inclusive and Climate-Smart MSP , the course combines conceptual alignment with hands-on application. Participants will develop a shared understanding of ecosystem-based and climate-resilient planning principles, explore the implications of biodiversity loss and climate change for marine management, and examine policy alignment and inclusive governance approaches. Through interactive exercises and a simulated MSP process, they will learn how to apply these principles across all phases of the MSP cycle from scoping and assessment to plan development, implementation, monitoring, and adaptive management.
