Raising awareness of the Climate challenges in the Mediterranean

For the first time in history, COP27 (6-18 Nov, 2022) hosted a Mediterranean Pavilion, seeking to highlight both the urgent challenges the region faces, and the innovative solutions already being developed.

The Mediterranean Pavilion was a coalition of like-minded partners: the Union for the Mediterranean, the PRIMA Foundation, and UNEP–MAP, along with a group of relevant organisations and a scientific committee, led by the Mediterranean Experts on Climate and environmental Change (MedECC) network, which gathers 600 scientists, and who produced the first scientific assessment on climate and environmental change in the region.

#MEDITERRANEANPAVILION

 

For too long now, climate negotiations and climate action have been slowed down by the perception that all the actors – Civil Society, Governments, business and finance – were competitors. But we are not, and we need to join hands.

Throughout the two weeks of the COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh under the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the first Mediterranean Pavilion will host numerous activities and gather key actors of our region. 

As one of the Climate change hotspots in the world, we are joining forces for the first time at COP, this year taking place in the Mediterranean region, to have a common voice: only together we can raise awareness of climate challenges in the Mediterranean and take action to find solutions.

CELEBRATING THE MEDITERRANEAN

Flagships projects and initiatives in the Mediterranean

A call for ideas to select the best projects to develop the energy transition path and solve the industry’s challenges in the Mediterranean region is being launched by OMC organizers and FEEM – Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei.

The aim is to promote and award research and technological innovation in the field of sustainable energy with focus on the Mediterranean region, helping new generations of researchers and young professionals to emerge, supporting their work. The promotion of new alliances across the Med is key to accelerate the transition towards a low carbon and sustainable future. The call is selecting projects from universities, academic institutions, research and technology centres from the region.

من خلال استهداف منطقة صوفيا أنتيبوليس(CASA) في جنوب فرنسا، يركز هذا المشروع على الاتفاقيات الدولية والالتزامات القانونية الوطنية للتكيف مع تغير المناخ مع مراعاة أنظمة القيم المحلية والعمل على تضمين مجموعة من المقترحات المشتركة في وثائق التخطيط العمراني المحلي. بتمويل من Fondation de France ، يقود هذا المشروع Plan Bleu بالشراكة مع GREC SUD ومنطقتيProvence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur ، و Sophia Antipolis ومجلس التنمية الخاص بها.

En ciblant spécifiquement l’agglomération de Sophia Antipolis (CASA) dans le sud de la France, ce projet vise à mettre en pratique les accords internationaux et les engagements juridiques nationaux pour l’adaptation face au changement climatique, tout en considérant les systèmes régionaux et locaux. L’objectif est d’aboutir à un ensemble de propositions co-construites, qui seront par la suite retranscrites dans les documents d’urbanisme locaux. Financé par la Fondation de France, ce projet est mené par le Plan Bleu, en partenariat avec le GREC SUD, la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, l’agglomération de Sophia Antipolis et son conseil de développement.

By specifically targeting the Sophia Antipolis agglomeration (CASA) in the South of France, this project aims at highlighting the international agreements and national legal commitments for climate change adaptation while considering the local value systems to establish a set of co-constructed proposals to be transcribed into local urban planning documents. Funded by Fondation de France, this project is led by Plan Bleu, in partnership with GREC SUD, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, the Sophia Antipolis agglomeration and its development council

بميزانية إجمالية قدرها 185 الف يورو على مدى 4 سنوات، يسعى المشروع لتعزيز مناهج التخفيف والتكيف المشتركة في المتوسط. وبدعم من الاتحاد من أجل المتوسط ومنظمة الأغذية والزراعة (الفاو)، سيعمل المشروع على بناء القدرات الإقليمية والوطنية لتنفيذ برامج واسعة النطاق لاستعادة الغابات والمناظر الطبيعية (FLR).

Avec un budget total de 1,85 millions d’euros investis sur 4 ans, le projet Intensifier la restauration des forêts et des paysages vise à restaurer la biodiversité et à promouvoir des approches communes d’adaptation en Méditerranée.

With a total budget of 1,850000 euros over a 4-year period, the project Scaling up forest and landscape restoration seeks to restore biodiversity and promote joint mitigation and adaptation approaches in the Mediterranean. Promoted by the Union for the Mediterranean and promoted by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the project will build regional and national capacity for the implementation of large-scale Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) programmes.

ترتفع درجة حرارة منطقة المتوسط بنسبة 20٪ أسرع من بقية العالم. وفي ضوء السياسات الراهنة، من المتوقع أن ترتفع درجات الحرارة بمقدار 2.2 درجة مئوية بحلول عام 2040. هذه بعض الاستنتاجات المثيرة للقلق للنتائج الرائدة لأول تقرير علمي على الإطلاق حول التغير المناخي والبيئي في المتوسط والذي أعدته شبكة العلماء (MedECC)

La région méditerranéenne se réchauffe 20 % plus vite que le reste du monde. Avec les politiques actuelles, les températures devraient augmenter de 2,2 ºC d’ici 2040. Voici quelques-unes des conclusions alarmantes du tout premier rapport scientifique sur le changement climatique et environnemental dans la région méditerranéenne, rédigé par le réseau de scientifiques MedECC.

The Mediterranean region warms 20% faster than the rest of the world. With current policies, temperatures are expected to increase 2.2 ºC by 2040. These are some of the alarming conclusions of the ground-breaking findings of the first-ever scientific report on climate and environmental change in the Mediterranean area drafted by the network of scientists MedECC.
