WWF - World Wide Fund for Nature and BCG - The Boston Consulting Group (2017)
This methodology document provides supplemental information to the discussions on economic value in the report Reviving the Economy of the Mediterranean Sea: Actions for a Sustainable Future. The assumptions, analysis and data sources that inform the Mediterranean Sea´s annual contribution (gross marine production) and asset-valuation (shared wealth fund) are outlined in this methodology document. The intent was to triangulate and refine existing primary research at the regional scale adapted from the global report, Reviving the Ocean Economy: The case for action - 2015, published by WWF International.
The analyses and conclusions contained in this document are based on various assumptions that BCG has developed regarding economic growth, and the current and future state of the Mediterranean Sea.
