The Regional Seas Programme (RSP) is convening a workshop to review and update the set of Core Indicators, which track the state of marine and coastal environments across the Regional Seas Programme. The indicators provide a common framework for monitoring ecosystem health, pollution levels, biodiversity, and socio-economic dimensions, enabling RSCAPs member countries to measure progress and compare results at the national, regional and global scales.

The workshop will bring together the 18 Regional Seas Conventions and Action Plans (RSCAPs) and representatives of relevant global frameworks. The updated core indicator set and a prioritization plan are expected to be presented to the Seventh United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-7).
