The LIFE MEDACC project aimed to develop innovative solutions to adapt our agroforestry and urban systems to the impacts of climate change in the Mediterranean. A series of adaptation measures in the fields of agriculture, forestry and water management were implemented on a pilot basis. The results of the project have contributed to quantify how adaptation can reduce the vulnerability of natural systems and human activities to climate change, and what are the economic and environmental costs associated with the implementation or non-implementation of these adaptation measures.
