Interreg Euro-MED - MPA4Change
MPA4Change aims to enhance the role of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and restoration as nature based solutions for climate change adaptation. Building on previous projects and in line with the EU Biodiversity Strategy objectives, this initiative will result in the development of an action plan for Mediterranean MPAs in view to ensure its long-term sustainability and capacity.
The creation of this Action Plan for MPAs in order to ensure its long-term sustainability and improve their resilience will be done by covering different areas of work, with the objective of achieving climate change adaptation in Marine Protected Areas. On the one hand, by building the capacity of MPA to adapt to climate change. On the other hand, by supporting the policy dialogue at Mediterranean and European level. And finally, by supporting the implementation of the action plan through the creation of a group of experts that will guide in this process beyond the project duration.
The 100MPA MedAlliance
The 100MPA MedAlliance is an initiative designed in the framework of MPA4Change aiming to support the consecution of the already delayed nature conservation objectives set by the Convention on Biological Diversity and at EU level by the European Green Deal and Biodiversity Strategy 2030. After MPA4Change project closure, the 100MPA MedAlliance will continue its activity for the years to come through the involvement of the project partnership, taker MPAs, endorsers and other support organisations.
Its main goal is to drive action in order to raise awareness on climate smart Marine Protected Areas, encourage stakeholder involvement, foster synergies and attract resources in order to support the integration of climate change adaptation plans in 100 MPAs of the Mediterranean region by 2030.

Solutions for climate change adaptation in Marine Protected Areas
Capacity Building
We provide specific capacity building opportunities and resources to MPAs so they can integrate climate change adaptation into their management plans.
Get to know our Training programme on climate change adaptation in Marine Protected Areas – an opportunity for managers and other conservation experts to increase MPA´s management effectiveness and resilience:
Policy and Advocacy
We foster and support the policy dialogue to integrate recommendations on climate change adaptation in Marine Protected Areas at EU, Mediterranean and Global ICZM/MSP Strategies.
Implementation support
We are developing a Roster of Experts that will support the implementation of policies and tools during and after the project closure.
