Multilateral Environmental Agreements- for e.g. the Barcelona Convention and its Protocols such as the ICZM, Convention on Biological Diversity, Basel Convention, United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, Rotterdam Convention, Stockholm Convention, the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals with focus on Goals 6, 13 and 15 and the Agenda 2030 process and other instruments and programmes, among them the Stockholm and Minamata Conventions and the UN Environment Global Programme of Action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting the priorities adopted by the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention while also aiming to deliver a set of complementary results embracing three categories of priorities as these were identified by the TDA, it is articulated around&nbsp;<strong>three&nbsp;components or main objectives<\/strong>, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduction of land-based pollution in priority coastal hotspots and measuring progress to impacts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhancing Sustainability and Climate Resilience in the Coastal Zone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protecting Marine Biodiversity <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These objectives are achieved through the implementation of more than 100 coordinated action under eight \u201cChild Projects\u201d that cut across four different Focal Areas of the Global Environment Facility (International Waters [IW], Biodiversity [BD], Chemicals and Waste [CW], and Climate Change [CC]) and involve a wide spectrum of developmental and societal sectors, ranging from governmental and non-governmental bodies, the private sector, industry, research, media, various organizations and banking institutions. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) will provide a&nbsp;cash co-financing of USD 700 million&nbsp;in the form of loans granted to the countries and to public\/private actors to foster market creation and transformation and ensuring sustainability through the private sector and municipal involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"3\">MedProgramme<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MedProgramme Component<\/td><td>Child Project<\/td><td>GEF Focal Areas<\/td><\/tr><tr><td rowspan=\"3\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reduction of Land Based Pollution in Priority Coastal Hotspots and measuring progress to impacts<\/td><td>1.1 \u201cReducing from Harmful Chemicals and Wastes in Mediterranean Hotspots and Measuring Progress to Impacts\u201d<\/td><td>International Waters (IW),Chemicals and Waste (CW)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1.2 \u201cMediterranean Pollution Hot Spots Investment Project\u201d<\/td><td>International Waters (IW),Chemicals and Waste (CW)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1.3 \u201cMediterranean Sea Finance for Water Systems and Clean Coasts\u201d<\/td><td>International Waters (IW),Chemicals and Waste (CW)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td rowspan=\"3\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Enhancing Sustainability and Climate Resilience in the Coastal Zone<\/td><td>2.1 \u201cMediterranean Coastal Zones Climate Resilience Water Security and Habitat Protection\u201d<\/td><td>International Waters (IW)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2.2 \u201cMediterranean Coastal Zones: Managing the Water-Food-Energy-Ecosystems NEXUS\u201d<\/td><td>International Waters (IW)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SCCF \u201cEnhancing Regional Climate Change adaptation in the Mediterranean Marine and Coastal Areas\u201d<\/td><td>Climate Change (CC)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3.Protecting Marine Biodiversity<\/td><td>3.1 \u201cManagement Support and Expansion of Marine Protected Areas in Libya\u201d<\/td><td>Biodiversity (BD)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4.
