- Assessment of the sustainability and resilience of cork harbour against climate change using the concept of circles of coastal sustainability (CCS)Publication . Swe, Wint Mon; Newton, Alice; LeTissier, MartinCoastal areas are where many socioeconomic and ecological processes come together to provide important services that drive the economy, social and culture of the community. With climate change impacts becoming more apparent, the sustainability and the resilience of the community is crucial when these climate extremes occur. This paper discusses on the sustainability and resilience of Cork Harbour using recently established sustainability framework – Circles of Coastal Sustainability – stemming from Circles of Sustainability but tailored for coastal zones. Cork Harbour was evaluated to be in ‘good’ status in terms of sustainability, also putting it in a resilient position against climate impacts. The shortcomings encountered using the framework include difficulty in choosing locally relevant indicators and complication in scoring the chosen indicators.
- Water resources planning and management: from stakeholders’ local actions to the global perspectivePublication . Ben-Daoud, Mohamed; El Mahrad, Badr; Moroșanu, Gabriela Adina; Ben-Daoud, Abderrahmane; Swe, Wint Mon; Elhassnaoui, Ismail; Essahlaoui, Ali; Eljaafari, SamirWater planning and management, especially during periods of water stress, is becoming challenging for water managers worldwide. The aim of the present study was to provide an integrated water resources management (IWRM) plan designed to water management implementation at the local scale. This study was conducted in Morocco, a country which opts for anticipatory and long-term planning for the 2021-2050. The objective-based stakeholder interaction approach was adopted to establish the impact relationship between stakeholders and to develop an integrated water resources management (IWRM) plan. Thus, ten actors were involved and twelve water-related issues were identified and analysed. As a result, an analysis of stakeholders' engagement was carried out based on an indicator framework on the impact between actors and the similarity between the actors' objectives. The stakeholder's analysis shows a high level of the objective similarity amongst some stakeholders which is very important indicator to recognise in the IWRM planning process. Furthermore, an IWRM plan was developed, which consisted of nine components aimed at either implementing or enhancing the water management process. This IWRM plan emphasised capacity building and stakeholders' participation as main input of the process. The findings provide a roadmap for effective IWRM implementation through the operationalization of water management actions.
