This side event will explore how subnational governments across Mediterranean climate regions are taking bold, practical action to adapt to accelerating climate impacts — from droughts and wildfires to sea-level rise and extreme heat. These regions, found on five continents, share not only similar climatic conditions but also parallel vulnerabilities, offering a powerful opportunity for cooperation and shared learning.

Objectives
Raise visibility of Mediterranean regions’ adaptation needs and leadership.
Showcase interregional collaboration and innovation in resilience.
Strengthen solidarity and knowledge exchange among Mediterranean-climate regions.
