Concept note
The Mediterranean region needs localised innovation to tackle the climate and natural resource crises and best build resilient communities. Scientific, educational, and governance cooperation can foster radical solutions that offer collective resilience and wellbeing to meet its unique environmental challenges and opportunities. In this session speakers will draw on their extensive experience with research, climate governance, and cooperation organisations to tackle the practicalities of collaborative governance for shared scarce natural resources, collective climate and development issues, and systemic intersections with geopolitics in the Mediterranean region.
