Meeting of the advisory panel to the regional climate change adaptation framework in Athens, Greece

19 Dec 2014 | by themedpartnership.org
UNEP/MAP, through the MedPartnership sister project on climate variability and change, has undertaken the development of the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Framework for the Mediterranean Marine and Coastal Zones, which will be presented for adoption in its final form in the next Conference of the Parties to the Barcelona Convention.

The Mediterranean area is widely considered as a ‘climate hotspot’. Its climate is especially responsive to global change and potential climate change impacts are particularly strong.  It has become crucial that Mediterranean countries react to be most effectively prepared to address those impacts, setting the objectives and priority actions.
