Mediterranean Region: Ecosystem-based Adaptation 2019-2022
The Mediterranean Sea region is suffering from the impacts of climate change on its coasts, worsened by rapid urbanization and high rates of deforestation and ecosystem degradation. A new project is strengthening the capacities of countries in the Mediterranean region to adapt to climate change through the promotion of ‘ecosystem-based adaptation’, and to access international climate financing, with a view to influencing wider development processes in the region. Ecosystem-based adaptation is the holistic strategy of using ecosystems – and the services they provide – to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on communities. The project is being implemented in 6 Mediterranean countries - Albania, Algeria, Libya, Montenegro, Morocco and Tunisia.
