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 resilience to climate change will be done by covering different areas of work. 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.

MPAs adapted to climate change by 2030
The achievement of nature conservation objectives set for 2030 both at international level by the Convention on Biological Diversity and at EU level by the European Green Deal and Biodiversity Strategy 2030, is behind schedule. In order to contribute in reaching these objectives and deliver time-bound and specific results, MPA4Change has set the target of supporting the integration of climate change adaptation strategies and the improvement of the management effectiveness of 100 MPAs by 2030 in the Mediterranean region.
