Priority Actions Identified

This dataset contains a list of 39 priority actions -identified by the Analysis Team- that fall in seven categories:1) Command and control, 2) Conservation, 3) Economic Instruments, 4) Planning and Governance, 5) Implementation of practices, 6) Private Sector and, 7) Finance. The 39 actions were ranked using a qualitative scoring system based on the following criteria: 1) How significantly the recommended action addressed the identified threats; 2) How significantly it addressed the identified gaps; and 3) How feasible it is in terms of political will, existing technical capacities, and economic cost of implementation.

The lowest value given to a recommended action was seven and the highest 38. The team selected the top 30 percent to develop a set of 10 key recommendations.
