Accelerating the joint efforts for Mediterranean

On 18 November the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change of Türkiye organized at the Mediterranean Pavilion the event entitled “Climate Change and Mediterranean; Accelerating the joint efforts for Our Mediterranean”.

Climate change in the Mediterranean: the average temperature in the Mediterranean basin is increasing by 20 per cent compared to the global average, the sea level has risen by 6 cm in the Mediterranean over the past two decades, and the acidity of seawater has increased significantly. The water temperature of the Mediterranean Sea is expected to increase by 1-4 °C in 2100.

As response, an intensive study on the adoption of practices in this area has been planned within the framework of the Barcelona Convention, in line with the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals (in particular SDG 13, SDG 11, SDG 12, SDG 14), between 2022 and 2027, in order to increase the Mediterranean's resilience to climate change, land degradation, integrated coastal management, marine and coastal biodiversity, etc.,
