Why the Mediterranean?
The Mediterranean region
is particularly vulnerable to climate change due to its unique geographical and
climatic conditions. The region faces significant challenges such as rising
temperatures, water scarcity, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events.
Addressing these challenges requires a coordinated effort and targeted research
to develop effective policies and strategies.
The Mediterranean Climate Change and Policy Research Group (MedCCPRG) is committed to playing a pivotal role in this endeavor, working tirelessly to ensure a sustainable and resilient future for the Mediterranean region.
