  6. III- How can we apply Environmental Economics and ICT as integrated tools in our approach of Sustainable Development ? We can achieve this target through this steps : 2- fined one or more solution to recover the cost of environmental degradation such as convert it to taxes , which must be bayed by degradation’s subjects . 3- showing the estimated figures throw nice advertisements , on target of raising the environmental public education .

Currently in its third phase, MED POL focuses on managerial aspects of pollution control and on the implementation of the relevant Protocols (dumping and land-based sources (LBS)). For the specific needs of the MED POL Phase III Programme the development of a new database was initiated in the MED POL unit..

And it is now an active member of MED POL network and database. GIS maps show us the MED POL Phase III Monitoring sites in Syria and MED POL countries

  12. II- ICT Environmental Managing project : Establishing a Geographical Information System (GIS) for Integrated Coastal Management Between Jbeil/Amsheet ( Lebanon ) and Latakia ( Syria ) With co-operation of EU / SMAP programme Establishing a Geographical Information System (GIS) in order to identify and specify the environmental risks and economic options of the coastal strip concerned, leading to an action plan for sustainable coastal management

  13. II- ICT Environmental Awareness project : 1- Establishing the Atlas and the Database of the Biodiversity in Syria with co-operation of UNDP

  14.
