Depending on the planning scale, the project area included: 3 coastal municipalities, 8 municipalities of the Coast-Karst hinterland region.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Home to around 100,000 people (with 80% living along the coast), this economically dynamic area relies heavily on services, tourism, maritime transport (notably the Port of Koper), and to a lesser extent, agriculture. Despite strong development, disparities exist between coastal and inland zones. Several interlinked environmental and planning issues in the region were as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Incomplete wastewater and solid waste infrastructure\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Insufficient management of protected areas\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drinking water protection and planning for future water needs\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Urban sprawl and land-use pressures\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Coastal and marine pollution from maritime activities\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gaps in environmental data and information systems\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Key\u00a0objectives<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CAMP\u00a0Slovenia\u00a0aimed\u00a0to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Integrate coastal and river basin planning, in line with the EU Water Framework Directive\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Strengthen regional spatial planning and sustainable development frameworks\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Enhance cooperation across municipalities and sectors\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Build institutional capacity and promote stakeholder engagement\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Provide tools for long-term environmental and economic sustainability\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Results\u00a0and\u00a0outputs<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A wide range of stakeholders were engaged through a programme board of nearly 50 members, including municipal leaders, ministries, businesses, trade unions, and NGOs.

It contributed to ongoing national and EU-aligned planning efforts, while offering a model for integrating coastal, river basin, and spatial planning in small but complex regions. The very first action after its completion was the ratification of the ICZM Protocol as the first Contracting Party. This led to the annual celebration of Coast Day on 25 September.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9074,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"project-category":[204],"project-status":[194],"class_list":["post-8219","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-category-camp","project-status-completed"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/8219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-category?post=8219"},{"taxonomy":"project-status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paprac.org\/hr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-status?post=8219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
