Adopted on the 27th of July 2010 by the inter-ministerial committee for sustainable
development.

NSDS provides a frame of reference and policy framework for all national, public and private
stakeholders in the field of sustainable development. It offers a common architecture for all
national public & private stakeholders to assist them in structuring their own SD programs.

It sets out the fundamental basis for sustainable development leading to a Green & Fair
economy;
Green Economy: It is that economy that adopts new lifestyle and new forms of
organizations, production and consumption which preserve natural
resources Quantitatively by more sparing use; and Qualitatively, by
protecting environments and combating pollution.
Fair Economy:
Various economic, ecological and social crises have confirmed the
urgency and the need for greater solidarity both on national and
international levels, in order to reduce inequalities, fight
unemployment, provide training, risk prevention, control of budgetary
balances and governance.
NSDS is based on Nine strategic challenges, which are consistent with
French national and European commitments.
1. Sustainable consumption & production.
2. A knowledge society based on information.
3. Governance.
4. Climate change & energy.
5. Sustainable transport & mobility.
6. Conservation & sustainable management of biodiversity & natural
resources.
7. Public health, risk prevention & management.
8. Demography, immigration and social inclusion.
9. The international challenges of SD & the fight against global poverty.

Facts
 France is divided to 26 administrative regions, of which 15 are located along the
sea.

11 coastal regions border the Mediterranean Sea in the South East and the Atlantic
Ocean in the West.

In addition, France has 4 overseas regions (Gaudeloupe, Martinique, French
Guiana and the Reunion Island).

The total coastline of the mainland measures 8,245 km.
 Flooding & erosion:
-
All French coastal regions are affected by erosion; a) Sandy coasts representing 30% of French coastline
are the most exposed, b) in contrast, muddy coasts are generally advancing, and c) the majority of rocky
shores are considered stable.
-
Along the sandy beaches, waves will get closer to the beach if the problem of erosion is not counteracted
sufficiently.

-
Loss of coastal eco-systems:
In France, more than 20% of the land is located less than 250 meters away from coastlines. The majority of
this land contains natural habitats such as wetlands, which are subject to Sea Level Rise.
Finance and maintenance costs are divided between National,
Regional and private landowners.
At the national level:
1. The Ministry of Ecology, Energy, SD and Land Settlement is
the authority responsible for coastal defense.
2. Conservatoire du littoral: a French coastal protection agency
protecting threatened natural areas across the mainland
regions.
