2000 - strategic review of SD in the region
the “sustainable development fashion” exerted limited influence on policies
sectoral visions and priorities still predominate

strengths
regional processes- MSSD?; MDGs; EU (SDS, enlargement, Western Balkans, neighbourhood; union for the Med; horizon 2020, water initiative)
all countries NSSD (or other) strong (?) political commitment

weaknesses
inequalities in level of information reporting erratic, selective, numerical,
snapshot in time monitoring and review (biased?)elusive how to reconcile economic
growth with economic development

weaknesses
usually environmental issues overshadow other two
bulk of strategies short to mid-term no overall objectives, list a lot unrelated lack of integrated approach

weaknesses
regulatory instruments overriding toolsweak incorporation of new actors governance structures weak, slow, no
central node lack of capacity building lack of implementation

weaknesses
influence of NSSD– impossible to isolate impacts– policy formulation not clear if guided
by a NSSD– many initiatives would be taken
anyway – multitude of measures rarely interact

scope of the MCSD

sustainable development- a bridge, a promise, a reasoned basis, a perspective, a means, a way
strategy- an interactive process, evolving, flexible, integrating umbrella, a focus for other policies
NO “MASTER PLAN”
