The impacts of MSPs, especially on local populations, rights holders and marginalised groups in developing countries and emerging economies have not yet been investigated in depth. Nevertheless, existing research studies and activity reports from MSPs allow findings on impacts at local level to be summarised. These guidelines present examples of MSPs’ impacts across the entire range of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and provide recommendations on how such impacts can be achieved. The corresponding background paper summarises the research methods and methodological aspects, as well as the open topics researchers would like to see addressed, and it offers an overview of the complete research results.
