UNESCO has a long tradition of supporting networks. In the frame of such institutional role, UNESCO Venice together with the Moscow Office are promoting site-based activities in South-Eastern Europe and in the Caucasus Region, in particular related to the use and promotion of MAB Biosphere Reserves as models for Sustainable Development.
Countries such as Germany, Austria, Italy or Slovenia have offered to strengthen their cooperation with SEE countries within the frame of EuroMAB and BRESCE is requested to facilitate and platform such a process which should lead to the co-funding of major activities in the region.
