Fourth EAS Youth Forum Theme: Charting the Future We Want Venue: Danang People’s Committee Hall Date: 16‐21 November 2015
Background
The Earth Summit of 1992 and the World Summit on Sustainable Development of 2012 both posited how critical it is to include the youth in achieving sustainable development goals. It is now 2015 and fundamental questions regarding youth participation should be addressed: What role does the youth have in influencing the post‐2015 sustainable development agenda? How do governments ensure that the youth are included in the process from the very beginning? How does the youth directly contribute to the achievement of these global targets?
The EAS Youth Forum (YF) is one of the special events of the EAS Congress which was first launched in 2006. The 1st YF adopted the Youth Agenda for the Seas of East Asia, detailing a plan of action on informing, inspiring and involving the region’s youth. In 2009, the 2nd YF committed to the sustainable development of the seas of East Asia through the Youth Statement and Country Work Plans. The 3rd YF in 2012 formulated the Changwon Youth Declaration on the Protection of the Seas of East Asia.
Now on its fourth cycle, the EAS Youth Forum (YF4) carries the theme, “Charting the Future We Want: Engaging Young Champions for the Ocean Beyond 2015.” The YF4 will gather young leaders in the EAS
Page 9 of 86 region to showcase their initiatives contributing to the sustainable development agenda. Putting the youth as actors for, and stakeholders to a healthy world, YF4 will encourage participants to display ideas and convictions, innovative frameworks, approaches and methodologies in addressing pressing environmental issues in their respective communities.
Objectives
The YF4 aims to: a. Discuss the youth’s crucial role in the post‐2015 development agenda by recognizing young leaders and innovators involved in youth‐led ridge‐to‐reef initiatives in the EAS region; b. Provide a conducive platform for mutual exchange of knowledge, experience and skills in sustainable ocean and coastal management; c. Strengthen the youth’s capacity to develop and/or lead initiatives in the local, national or regional level; d. Review the recommendations to national and local governments, nongovernmental organizations, universities and the private sector drafted in previous youth forums (e.g., Changwon Youth Declaration 2012, EAS Youth Forum Statement 2009, Youth Agenda for the Seas of East Asia 2006); e. Sustain and expand the network of young people empowered to take actions in protecting the region’s oceans and coasts through the EAS Youth Network and its country hubs; and f. Develop case studies showcasing the environmental initiatives of the youth participants.
Target Audience
The YF4 is open to the youth, ages 18 to 25 years old, from the countries in the EAS region: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, PR China, DPR Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, RO Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Timor‐Leste, and Vietnam. It will target 70 participants consisting of university students, young professionals, and active members of youth organization/s and institution/s working in the field of sustainable development. In line with the objectives to build the capacity of youth on coastal and ocean management and development, youth from communities where integrated coastal management (ICM) programs are being implemented are highly encouraged to participate.
Expected Outputs Some of the expected outputs include an exhibit of relevant case studies/projects on initiatives led by the youth; a YF toolkit; empowered working groups grounded on specific coastal issues for the establishment of the EAS Youth Network; and Youth Statement/Declaration on actual commitments to address relevant coastal issues

Workshop 1.1: Managing risks in climate change and disasters in the seas of East Asia Venue: Furama Ballroom 1 (Day 1); Furama Ballroom 3 (Day 2) Date: November 17‐18, 2015 Time: 1030‐1800 Workshop Co‐conveners: Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation (KOEM); Korea Environment Institute (KEI) Workshop coordinator: Mr. Danilo Bonga and Ms. Daisy Padayao, PEMSEA
TITLE OF WORKSHOP: Managing risks in climate change and disasters in the seas of East Asia
Owing to its geographical location, socioeconomic condition and growing population, the East Asian Seas (EAS) region is one of the most vulnerable areas to the impacts of the changing climate. Socioeconomic losses and environmental issues have been aggravated by stronger typhoons, prolonged droughts, intense flooding and sea level rise. Addressing climate change and disaster risks is key because it provides opportunities to improve, strengthen and realize the ingenuities of societies to adapt. Of varying scope, strategies and methodologies, efforts at all levels (globally, regionally, nationally and locally) and sectors are increasing towards adapting to the impacts of climate change, reducing the vulnerabilities of communities and enhancing their capacities to cope and respond to disaster risk.
Governed by the commitments made by the EAS countries in the last three past Congresses, and by the recent changes towards a post‐2015 frameworks by three important international instruments, namely, sustainable development agenda and goals, climate change and disaster risk reduction, it is an opportune time to re‐visit progress made to advance specific actions for managing risks in the seas of East Asia
Over the years, the region has seen the explosive growth in the knowledge and information on the impacts and risks, which were translated as policy changes and practice in CCA and DRR, including the scaling up ICM. We have rejoiced in well crafted implementation. But we have missed in some too: knowledge gaps, capacity development and financing and investment needs.
To date however, a strategy for East Asia integrating interventions to further address threat of climate change and reduce disaster risk has not been adopted. Adopting a strategic framework for adaptation— with clearer goals and targets—would help set the direction for, and track progress in managing risks in climate change and disasters the EAS region.
The workshop is a two‐day event. It will articulate and encapsulate valuable lesson lessons learned. Too, as offered by the new paradigms, this is a forum which aims to articulate new ways of looking at climate change and disaster risks as more than just an external shock but symptomatic of continuing accumulation of risks driven by economic and development plans, policies and actions.
Page 22 of 86 The workshop will present good practices, working models and innovative solutions in managing risks in climate change and disasters at the local level in the EAS region. It will discuss how an integrated approach has facilitated local governments to adapt, prepare and reduce disaster risks. These local initiatives will also highlight their contribution in addressing national priorities, regional and global targets to CCA/DRR.
The workshop will also tackle the need for a strategic framework for CCA/DRR, and how its implementation can be facilitated and scaled up through the transfer and replication of working models and good practices in CCA/DRR. The workshop will identify priority areas for implementation, key targets, needs and challenges, including opportunities for knowledge‐sharing, replication and collaborative efforts for advancing CCA/DRR in the EAS region.
The forum offers a platform to synergize actions in East Asia that needs to be coherently complementing those set forth by the three international instruments.
TARGET AUDIENCE AND EXPECTED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: ● Practitioners of ICM, climate change and disaster risk reduction programs ● Regional and international organizations, NGOs working on climate change and disaster risk reduction programs ● National and local governments, including ICM sites, ● Business sector, academe, interdisciplinary researchers ● ICM Learning Centers and academic institutions
FORMAT OF THE EVENT: Workshop with keynote presentations, related presentations and panel discussions
OBJECTIVE(S): The workshop aims to: ● Articulate and encapsulate the lesson lessons learned in the last 10 years and new paradigms of looking at issues of climate change and disaster risk reduction. ● Share good practices and working models in managing risks in climate change and disasters in the EAS region ● Build consensus on a regional strategy for CCA/DRR in the EAS region ● Identify priority areas, key targets, needs and challenges for the implementation of the regional strategy for climate change adaptation, including opportunities for knowledge‐sharing, replication and collaborative efforts for advancing CCA/DRR in the EAS region ● Serve as platform to synergize actions in East Asia that needs to be coherently complementing those set forth by the three international instruments
EXPECTED OUTPUTS: 1. Resource document on lesson learned in the maturation of local governments’ ICM systems and their contributions to international, regional and national targets for managing climate change and disaster risks 2. Compilation of good practices and working models in managing risks in climate change and disasters in the EAS region 3. Consensus on a regional strategy for CCA/DRR 4. Action plan for CCA/DRR including priority areas for implementation, key targets, needs and challenges, including opportunities for knowledge‐sharing, replication and collaborative efforts for advancing climate change adaptation in the EAS region

KEY MESSAGE(S) OF THE WORKSHOP The maritime transport sector is an essential component to blue economy. IMO has developed and maintained a comprehensive regulatory framework that provides countries
Page 29 of 86 with a blueprint for a sustainable maritime transport industry. As environmental sustainability is increasingly recognized as an important consideration for transport, the sector is coming under greater pressure to shift towards greener, low‐carbon and more environment‐friendly patterns. Over the past few years, maritime transport has increasingly moved to the center stage of discussions on climate change and energy sustainability. The drive to improve the sector’s environmental and energy performance, including its carbon footprint, is driven both by regulation (for example, the IMO) and by customers’ demands for greater corporate social responsibility in global supply chains. Several government‐ and industry‐led initiatives have emerged to mainstream sustainability criteria into planning processes, policies, and investment strategies. There is a need to formulate or reshape approaches and strategies to promote blue economy complemented with sustainable and integrated maritime policies, programmes and investment strategies that balance economic, environmental and social objectives towards sustainable and inclusive development.

Rationale
The six Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) and subregional seas1 of East Asian region are experiencing physical, ecological and socio‐economic changes associated with infrastructure development, urbanization, extreme climate events, land and sea‐based activities, and population increase. International cooperation at regional and LME levels has facilitated in many ways collaborative responses among countries to the challenges and uncertainties with countries’ adoption of ocean policies and measures in alignment with the regional action programs such as the strategic action programme (SAP) and regional sustainable development strategy.
What are the drivers that have shaped the regional coast and ocean governance? What achievements and impact have these regional governance mechanisms made in addressing overfishing, eutrophication, loss of coastal and marine biodiversity and other transboundary issues in the last decade? What are the gaps in our understanding of the coasts and oceans? What are the innovative implementation and governance mechanisms for SAPs and the regional strategy? What should the

Workshop 2.2: Application of Knowledge Management in Scaling up Public and Private Sector Investments in Blue Economy Venue: Furama Ballroom 3 Date: November 17, 2015 Time: 1030 to 1800 Workshop Co‐conveners: GEF, World Bank, PEMSEA, IW:LEARN, CCRES Workshop coordinator: Mr. Renato Cardinal, PEMSEA
The process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using good practices, experiences and knowledge to achieve sustainable development objectives and targets is a challenge to many development projects and programs across the East Asian Seas region. Ultimately, knowledge sharing and management can and should facilitate enhanced capacity and performance of development projects and impact investments for sustainable development of Large Marine Ecosystem (LMEs) and coasts in the EAS region. Knowledge Management (KM) in this workshop refers not only to the tools, products and services, but the networks and relationships that are critical factors in the transference and effective use of good KM practices and platforms. Knowledge Management in essence is about collecting information, capturing knowledge, open communication and connecting people and community.
As KM promotes an integrated approach to capturing and sharing information we also need to apply this to the blue economy in which we work, that is, the interface between land and sea. Through this workshop we will explore coastal KM tools, products and networks, which can support regional sustainability targets and mandates. Exploring KM approaches, innovations, products, services and tools this workshop is seeking to develop clear guidelines on what constitutes best practice, and build regional partnerships across global knowledge, technology and human resources needed to sustain growth and enhance sustainable development and ICM implementation in the region.
The stewardship of our coasts and oceans ultimately comes down to people and their values, beliefs and behaviours towards nature and its resources. The success of regional coastal management and conservation is therefore dependent upon the knowledge, needs, desires and attitudes of people. The workshop will feature a number of innovative KM products and services that have been developed and tested in various conservation and pollution reduction projects around the region and globaly, some of which are supported by GEF, the World Bank and UNDP. The workshop will review the application and benefits derived from the products and services in the respective projects. The workshop will then delve into the potential use of such innovations in other projects and by other sectors, and the how a regional KM platform can serve to improve access to, and scale up investments in, good practices.
TARGET AUDIENCE: National government, policymakers, local governments International organizations Representatives from sustainable development projects (implementers) Corporations, networks, and investors and donors Academe, ICM Learning Centers NGOs
OBJECTIVE(S): Understanding and creating the need for Knowledge Management: To increase awareness of innovative KM products and services, networks and expertise on sustainable development, being generated and used around the region and on global scale;
Page 47 of 86 Creating the best conditions for optimising Knowledge Management: To identify the ideal conditions (critical factors of success) for the uptake and use of KM products and services Strategy for optimising Knowledge Management on a regional scale: To identify opportunities and linkages for hands‐on learning across projects, sectors and regions through regional case studies Exploring the utility of Knowledge Management: (i) To explore the development of KM best practices and a regional KM platform, and (ii) To strengthen the linkages and hands‐on learning across projects and sectors through KM
FORMAT OF THE EVENT:
Keynote presentation A keynote presentation will provide a global overview on how we can come together to build tomorrow’s knowledge society and work towards a knowledge economy. The talk will focus on WHO is using KM, HOW are they using it, WHERE are they using it and WHAT are the critical elements for success and scalability on a regional scale
Part 1: WHAT IS THE NEED FOR KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT Part 1 will focus on case studies around the “who” is using knowledge management products, services, platforms etc. Key speakers will come from four backgrounds: Government, NGO, Business and Regional Projects. Key focus: o What is KM for you o Why are they using tools, products, services, networks o How do they use tools, information, services in decision making and investments o How did they choose what they are using o What is their need o How do they find information o What do they perceive as successful KM implementation in their business environment Panel Discussion focused on how end users use knowledge, what theirs sources of knowledge are and how they package their knowledge across projects and regions in the EAS region as well as to other regions
Part 2: THE CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT Part 2 will focus on the identifying good practices, tools and methodologies and what has made them a success in terms of uptake and use by end users. It will look at the how and where ‐ the conditions and strategy of KM with some success stories. It will identify best practice KM practices and platforms for end users that are accessible, affordable, applicable, usable and scalable across regions and countries Panel Discussion focused on what the ideal conditions for uptake of KM products, services and networks are and identify opportunities and linkages for hands on learning across projects, sectors and regions
Part 3: THE STRATEGY AND UTILITY OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT Part 3 provides a review of existing and planned KM platforms for capturing, developing, sharing and effectively scaling up investments in good practices, experiences and technologies, including: (i) how do you collaborate, share knowledge etc; (ii) what is the best platforms; (ii) Development of a Regional KM Platform for capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively scaling up investments in good practices, experiences and technologies Interactions with a Beta version of a regional KM Platform on Coastal and Ocean Governance and
Page 48 of 86 Management Panel Discussion focused on the attributes, accessibity and affortability of KM practices and platforms that are scalable for partnership investments in a blue economy. The learnings and experiences of the KM Workshop will be brought together and discussed asking the question ‐ What have we learnt about applying KM in scaling up partnership investments in a blue economy?
EXPECTED OUTPUTS: Expected outputs from the workshop include: Development of best practice guidelines for regional KM in a blue economy Production of a journal paper KM best practice in a blue economy, and an outline of the critical success factors and best practice for making KM doable in the region and globally A checklist of the attributes of successful KM platforms for scaling up partnership investments in a blue economy Workshop report Launch of a regional KM platform (SEAKnowledgeBank.net)
Expected outcomes from the workshop include: Increased awareness of, the conditions and opportunities for regional KM products, services and networks Opportunities identified for scaling up the application of KM products and services among projects in the EAS region Agreement on the need for a “regional KM platform” for enhancing the capacity, performance and leveraging of investments in sustainable development of Large Marine Ecosystem (LMEs) and coasts in the EAS
KEY MESSAGE(S) OF THE WORKSHOP
Knowledge Management (KM) provides a process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using good practices, networks and experiences achieve sustainable development in the East Asian Seas (EAS) region. By learning from the experiences of end users regional KM can scale up partnership investments in a blue economy.
A regional KM platform has the ability to enhance the capacity and performance of investments in sustainable development of Large Marine Ecosystem (LMEs) and coasts in the EAS region by building human capacities and their networks in preparing and promoting investable projects and improving access to experts and financing mechanisms.

TARGET AUDIENCE AND EXPECTED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: Ecologists and socio‐economists undertaking or interested in interdisciplinary research, marine planners, managers and implementers as well as policy‐makers, local governments and local stakeholders and communities
FORMAT OF THE EVENT: Introductory keynote presentations on: Ecosystem service assessment, valuation of ecosystem benefits (monetary and non‐monetary) and coastal use zoning (CUZ): Framework, experiences and challenges in implementation
Case study presentations on ecosystem service valuation and coastal use zoning : Overview of available tools and application at the local level
Breakout discussions/Plenary Current applications of ecosystem service assessment and benefit valuation Use of ecosystem service frameworks to support policy and management of sustainable development: Principles and considerations Status of coastal use zoning in East Asia and experiences in implementation Integration of ecosystem service assessment and benefit valuation and coastal use zoning into coastal management
OBJECTIVE(S): To discuss the practical applications of ecosystem service assessment, benefit valuation and coastal use zoning at the local level in the East Asian region and discuss the gaps and challenges on the application at the local level To identify actions to facilitate the use of these tools in order to improve planning and management of coastal and marine areas and resources, particularly by local governments.
EXPECTED OUTPUTS: 1. Enhancement of interaction and support among the scientific and technical community with local governments on the application of ecosystem valuation and CUZ products and services that will strengthen the capacity of local governments and local stakeholders in planning and managing coastal and marine areas and resources. 2. Workshop report on the state of research into, and the application of ecosystem service and coastal use zoning frameworks and methodologies to support policy, planning and implementation for sustainable development in East Asian coastal seas with recommendations on how to advance research, policy and its application at the local level.
KEY MESSAGE(S) OF THE WORKSHOP Effective and credible valuation of coastal ecosystem services and benefits is critical in generating information for better planning and policy making. Approaches to undertake such assessments are
Page 52 of 86 developing and will continue to do so, particularly supported by initiatives such as the Intergovernmental Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB). However, the uptake of such assessments in marine policy and application at the local level is still limited.
Coastal use zoning is mainly used as a tool to designate compatible uses of coastal areas and reduce conflicting uses among different stakeholders. If used effectively, CUZ can also create revenues for local governments through permitting and licensing as well as protecting areas that largely depend on environmental quality, such as aquaculture, coastal tourism and other related uses.
Whereas before, valuation was done independent of coastal use zoning and other tools, this workshop aims to emphasize the linkage between the two and how they are used to support better planning and management of coastal and marine areas and resources, to provide social and economic benefits for coastal commuities. It will look into the different ecosystem valuation and coastal use zoning frameworks and methodologies as well as their linkage and their application at the local level. It will bring together practitioners, researchers, policy maker, local stakeholders and communities to : 1) assess the usefulness of these tools; 2) determine the gaps and challenges in the application of these tools and methodologies; 3) identify ways to effectively utilize these for coastal and marine planning and decision‐making, particularly at the local level; and 4) build consensus on the wider use of ecosystem valuation and coastal use zoning and methodologies, taking into consideration the participation of local stakeholders in the process. The workshop will also explore the value of organizing a network of researchers, practitioners and service providers, which can serve as a Community of Practice for continually developing, improving and promoting ecosystem valuation and marine spatial planning knowledge products and services among policy‐makers, planners and managers at the local level.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
The workshop is expected to attract 50‐60 participants, including representatives from the national and local governments, financiers, private service providers, academic research institutions and development partners
OBJECTIVE(S):
1. to review and evaluate the PPP as an approach to mitigating impact from coastal and land‐based economic activities to coastal and marine environment in East Asian region; 2. to facilitate exchange of experiences and good practice of enabling policies and PPP projects with practioners of integrated coastal management (ICM) at national and local levels; 3. to identify gaps in information and capacity between the public and private sector and opportunities to enable access to financing from private sector partnership to sustain coastal development
RATIONALE:
Public private partnership (PPP) is reported to be a useful approach for mobilizing financial resources and expertise to deliver required public services, and providing a performance‐based management framework that can strengthen the quality of public services and reduce their costs. But are the enabling environments for PPP in East Asian Seas region contributing to financing public services and infrastructure for sustainable coastal and ocean development? What are the innovative policies, programmes and partnerships being developed and implemented to finance projects that deliver efficient and effective public services while mitigating environmental impact to coastal and marine environments? Are their constraints in the process of transforming a much needed environmental service into a feasible PPP investment project? What are they and how can they be overcome? This workshop seeks to evaluate PPP as an approach to finance public services and infrastructure, and to identify ways and means of scaling up its application among local governments that are implementing ICM programs for sustainable coastal development.
Page 55 of 86 EXPECTED OUTPUTS:
1. improved awareness of the innovative policies, programmes and approaches to the application of PPP among PEMSEA Partner Countries 2. identification of critical elements in the development and implementation of PPP projects with local governments as the public sector partner 3. road map to strengthening PPP as a modality for improving investments in environmental services among local governments implementing ICM programmes,

By 2030, the UN estimates, 70% of people will be in our global cities, the hubs of innovation and economy that today provide about 80% of global GDP (World Bank). Cities around the globe are growing fast— more than half of the world's 7.2 billion people now live in one city or another, a number expected to swell to more than 6 billion people living in cities by 2050, mostly in Africa and Asia. Cities now deliver fully three‐quarters of global economic activity, totaling more than $50 trillion. And it is citizens of cities who are responsible for at least half of all greenhouse gas pollution—through demand for heating and cooling, food, lighting, entertainment and transportation. As a result, city action (or inaction) on climate change may determine the ultimate outcome of global warming.
Cities around the world have made bold commitments to confront climate change. The Compact of Mayors, announced at the UN Climate Summit in New York City, is convening cities to set ambitious targets and report their performance transparently. Through the Compact, some of the world’s leading city networks – C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, ICLEI ‐ Local Governments for Sustainability, and United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) – in partnership with 25 organizations including the World Resources Institute (WRI), are mobilizing their cities to amplify and expand commitments to address climate change.
TARGET AUDIENCE: PEMSEA Network of Local Governments for Sustainable Development National and local government planning agencies Academe and scientific and technical institutions International development agencies/financial institutions/donors Private sector
FORMAT OF THE EVENT: ● The workshop will consist of three parts. o In the first part, a keynote address from Center for Liveable Cities (CLC), will introduce the framework for sustainable development of cities in support of local government’s efforts in addressing various issues of cities. o The Mayor of Ansan City will introduce the efforts of Ansan city in transforming the grey into green, the city‐level action for “coloring the city” as the flagship programme for sustainable development. ● This will be followed by presentations from local and global institutions demonstrating successful case studies in implementing sustainable development at local and global levels. The presentations include PNLG members/cities (Danang; Xiamen etc) in the PNLG network, and Singapore (IUCM demonstration site), UCLG, C40 Cities etc. to expand on their respective programs and progress to facilitate sustainable development and climate change adaptation within their respective cities. ● A panel discussion will follow to discuss challenges and gaps in implementing those global targets at city level, and to explore how PNLG members can proactively address sustainable development goals while mitigating and adapting to climate change.
Page 59 of 86 The workshop wrap‐up will include a discussion on the PNLG network and its potential contribution to the Compact of Mayors, and the commitment to climate change objectives and targets in the updated SDS‐ SEA.
OBJECTIVE(S): ● To highlight the need for, and critical role to be played by, cities/local governments in the region to lead the way in sustainable development and combating climate change. ● To increase awareness on the progress, achievements and good practices in sustainable development and climate change mitigation and adaptation among local governments/cities in the region, using ICM as the management framework and platform for action. To explore the benefits and opportunities for strengthening PNLG initiatives in sustainable development and climate change through linkages with other international networks of local governments and their programs.
EXPECTED OUTPUTS: ● Good practices and lessons learned on the use of ICM as a platform for sustainable development and climate change mitigation and adaptation ● Enhanced awareness of similar initiatives being undertaken through other international networks of local governments/cities Proposal for the PNLG to consider joining the global commitments of local governments, for example, Compact of Mayors network, and participating in the climate change
KEY MESSAGE(S) OF THE WORKSHOP/SEMINAR/EVENT ● Local governments and cities are at the forefront of the actions to build sustainable economies while combating the impacts of climate change. ● Local governments and cities have the mandates and means to: o Set tangible targets for sustainable development o Develop strategies to mitigate and adapt to climate change, one of the major constraints to sustainable development and liveable cities o Monitor, report and publish information on their progress and experiences in sustainable development and climate change mitigation and adaptation ● The actions of local governments are essential if national and regional sustainable development targets and objectives are to be achieved. ● The immediate beneficiaries of these actions are the people who live in these areas By pooling PNLG efforts with other international networks of local governments and cities, considering the sheer scale, these commitments are significant. But what makes this linkage even more notable is its link to tangible action and measureable benefits.

BACKGROUND This workshop aims to discuss the contribution of ocean economic sectors to the national economy, and examine the activities, innovations and investment opportunities that would help in the restoration and management of ocean health and coastal and marine ecosystems to ensure sustainable blue economy. Identification and measurement of the ocean economic activities, and their contribution to national economies will be presented during the workshop. Sustainability of such activities will be explored through presentation of valuation of ecosystem services and cases of resource depletion and environmental degradation. Examples of investments in innovative practices and technologies that contribute to blue economy development, address environmental and resource degradation and climate change impacts, and make economic activities more environmentally sound will also be presented. The assessment of ocean economy, ocean health and investment opportunities will help provide the evidence base for: (a) setting a policy agenda for integrating the blue economy assessment into economic development and investment plans for sustainable ocean and coastal development, and (b) developing a road map on promoting blue economy investments, and sustainable development and management of ocean and coasts. Moving from the initial country assessment to reporting of national and regional State of Oceans and Coasts (SOC) will also be discussed.
Target Audience: Representatives from national economic planning and statistics offices and research institutions working on coastal and ocean economic assessment, and valuation of resources and environmental damages National policymakers and managers addressing sustainable development of coastal and marine ecosystems and their management Local government CEOs, planners and managers Business sector representatives Investment/financial institution representatives
Objective(s): To harmonize the approaches towards measurement of ocean economy among countries of the region To examine existing and potential contributions of ocean economic sectors and coastal and marine ecosystems to national economic growth and development in countries of the region To present investment opportunities in innovative technologies and practices that contribute to sustainable oceans and coasts To discuss ways and means of institutionalizing ocean economy and environment accounting, and enhancing blue economy development and investments in the region To build consensus on a road map for formulating a blue economy approach to sustainable development of coasts and oceans for incorporation into national and local government development plans and investments
Page 63 of 86
Format of the workshop: The workshop will consist of presentations and moderated panel discussion. The workshop will involve three parts. The first part will focus on the assessment of the ocean economy (scope and contribution to national economy), and coastal and marine ecosystems. This will involve presentations. The second part will direct attention to key investment opportunities for blue economy development. This will also involve presentations. The third part will be a moderated panel discussion focusing on developing a road map that will: o provide ways and means towards sustainable development and management of the ocean economic sector and coastal and marine ecosystems, and o support a policy agenda on integrating ocean economy assessment in national and local economic development plans, and implementing blue economy investment projects.
Expected outputs: Initial country assessments: definition of blue economy; harmonized analytical framework for ocean economy assessment, including valuation of coastal and marine resources and environmental externalities; existing and potential contributions of ocean economic activities to the national economies and development in countries of the region Investment opportunities: investments that address resource and environmental degradation; innovations to make economic activities more environmentally sound Road map for formulating a blue economy approach to sustainable development of coasts and oceans for incorporation into national and local government development plans and investments Policy recommendations on ways and means of implementing the road map, institutionalizing ocean economy and environment accounting, and enhancing blue economy investments that protect, rehabilitate and sustain coastal and ocean ecosystem services, while also contributing to sustainable economic growth, livelihoods, and social benefits.
KEY MESSAGE(S) OF THE WORKSHOP The East Asian Seas region is a prominent center for commercial ocean activity, investment and growth. Countries of the East Asian Seas region share one ocean, which accounts for 80% of global aquaculture, more than 65% of harvesting and processing of the world’s capture fisheries, serves as an important conduit for 90% of world trade, and connects people, markets and livelihoods. The ocean and coastal economy is vital to local, sub‐regional and regional economic growth and prosperity. The East Asian Seas region is also a significant center for biodiversity, accounting for 30% of the world’s mangroves and a third of the world’s coral reefs, which provide ecosystem services that are essential to economic growth, food, water and energy security, as well as culture and recreation. However, rapid economic growth and urbanization, especially in the coastal areas, are compromising the health of the coastal and marine ecosystems. Around 80%‐90% of wastewater in the East Asian Seas region is being discharged to rivers and coasts without treatment. The blue economy holds the promise of sustainable economic growth and new opportunities for investment by the public and private sectors. Improving the understanding of ‘a blue economy approach’ among the public and private sectors and its potential contribution to sustainable economic growth and the protection and conservation of ocean and coastal ecosystem services drives policy change, innovation and investment.
Page 64 of 86 The blue economy and ecosystem assessments and reporting of national and regional State of Oceans and Coasts will help provide the evidence base for setting a policy agenda and road map on promoting blue economy investments, and sustainable development and management of coastal and marine resources. Networking with organizations and institutions with blue economy policy, programs, innovations and investments provides new insights and opportunities.

Background and Objectives
A group of experts from Asian countries and Western communities, in November of 2013, had a meaningful meeting on ecosystem service valuation and its application to marine spatial planning & management. The experts shared experiences on ecosystem service valuation and development of spatial management tools, and discussed how to incorporate the valuation process into spatial planning & management mechanism. It was, in Asian region, the first meeting dealing with ecosystem service valuation and its application to spatial management. All attendants recognized importance of development of sophisticated management tools, and as well capacity building.
In line with capacity building, the 1st training program was organized by Korea Maritime Institute (KMI) in cooperation with PEMSEA, Marine InVEST and PacMARA. Twenty trainees participated in the training program from Korea, China, Cambodia, Indonesia Philippines, and enjoyed learning of spatial management tools developed by KMI, Marine InVEST, and PacMARA. Organizers and trainers had encouraged trainees to challenge a development of the tools for their countries. Also, all trainees and experts attended the 2nd International Workshop on Marine Ecosystem Valuation and Spatial Management Tools. Issues were identified in developing the management tools and institutionalizing them in national policy regime. Enhancement of international networking and cooperation was firmly acknowledged as a common base that would contribute to tackling the issues.
KMI and PEMSEA will be inviting experts and practitioners to the 2nd training program on spatial management tools toward creative and viable coastal societies during the 2015 EAS Congress. The objective of the 2nd training program is to encompass more experts and practitioners in developing the spatial management tools and galvanizing their application to coastal and marine management of the EAS region.
Expected participants: 25 persons from PEMSEA ICM Learning Centers and practitioners of Country Partners /entities of PEMSEA Requirements for participants: middle level knowledge on TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity) & spatial planning, beginner level skills on GIS tools (e.g. ArcGIS, QGIS)
Main Contents Participants would learn about marine assessment and its application tools for spatial planning & management, “MAPS” and “Marine InVEST”. The former has been developed and operated by the Korea Maritime Institute, comprising MSA & SEV, and the latter by the Natural Capital Project Team.
Page 68 of 86 Participants will be introduced to the assessment and tools through Korea’s case studies, and get lessons and implications for their countries’ spatial management.

KEY MESSAGE OF THE FORUM
ICM was introduced in Vietnam relatively recently. The establishment of the national ICM demonstration site project in Da Nang city in 2000 with PEMSEA’s support, the 3 pilot sites at Nam Dinh, Thua Thien – Hue and Ba Ria ‐ Vung Tau under the Vietnam‐Netherlands ICZM project also established in 2000 and the NOAA‐IUCN‐Vietnam project on building capacity on ICM in Tonkin Gulf, which was initiated in 2002, have contributed significantly to the awareness, understanding and capacity building for ICM in Viet Nam.
ICM has become a priority coastal development policy of the country over the past decade, as evidenced by the following: a) human resources at both central and local levels have been trained and equipped with basic knowledge on ICM; b) issuance of Prime Minister’s Decision No. 158 in 2007 requiring 14 coastal provinces in the central coast of Vietnam (from Thanh Hoa to Binh Thuan) to implement ICM; and c) establishment of the Vietnam Administration for Seas and Islands (VASI), tasked to coordinate the integrated governance and management of Vietnam’s seas, islands and coastal areas including the development of integrated marine policies and laws and the conduct of basic surveys, monitoring and researches on the marine and coastal areas.
The approval of the National ICM Strategy to 2020 and Vision to 2030 by the Prime Minister in December 2014 exhibited Vietnam’s resolve to continually pursue sustainable coastal development. It is imperative to look back on the experiences and achievements as well as challenges in ICM implementation in Vietnam over the past years to chart the way forward in scaling up the good practices over the next 15
