The CSI platform for intersectoral action was initiated in 1996 to contribute
to environmentally sustainable, socially equitable, culturally respectful
and economically viable development in coastal regions and in small islands.
The following three complementary and mutually reinforcing modalities have
been adopted: (1) Field-based pilot projects which provide a framework for
collaborative action on the ground; (2) UNESCO Chairs and University Twinning
(UNITWIN) arrangements, which support and enhance the field project activities
through training, capacity building and awareness raising; and (3) A multi-lingual,
internet-based forum on 'Wise Coastal Practices for Sustainable Human Development.
