Series on Sea and Human Security

Seas, coasts and the ocean are part of the human security complex. Myriad factors including social, political, environmental and economic aspects of human security depend upon the sustainable and comprehensive governance and management of these areas. Inaugurated in 2002-2003, the UNITAR Series on Sea and Human Security examines, from a comprehensive point of view, the concept of human security as it pertains to seas and the ocean.

The series aims to facilitate peer exchange and knowledge development among key policy makers working in the field of marine and ocean affairs, in order to:

  • Identify key challenges in specific fields;

  • Agree on targets in order to tackle identified problems;

  • Design feasible action plans for policy implementation; and

  • Develop an overall strategy taking into account the interrelations between subject areas.
