The introduction of the concept of sustainable development with the approach of the Rio Conference in 1992 led the member states of the Barcelona Convention to draw up an Agenda 21 for the Mediterranean (Vallega, 1995). This concept adapted to the Mediterranean context forms an integral part of the objectives of the MAP. In Barcelona in June 1995, the Mediterranean Action Plan, which was adopted in 1975, was replaced by the Action Plan for the Protection of the Marine Environment and the Sustainable Development of the Coastal Areas of the Mediterranean (renamed MAP Phase II) by the Contracting Parties at a Conference of Plenipotentiaries, which also adopted priority fields of activities for the period 1996-2005 (UNEP, 1997a,b).

Previously, its financial resources were provided by UNEP s Environment Fund but, as with other components of the Mediterranean Action Plan, since 1979 funding has been provided by the Mediterranean Trust Fund.
