Policy & Advocacy

MPA4Change aims to drive action for the integration of climate change adaptation plans into relevant policy frameworks at all levels, both in the Mediterranean and EU context, as well as to leverage funding and active participation, in line with regional frameworks such as the Barcelona Convention and the Union for the Mediterranean’s GreenerMed Agenda.

For this end, we carry out different actions to stress the need to act against the climate emergency, promote the project solutions as consolidated tools for this end, participate in key events and liaise with interested parties and institutions to get the necessary support to achieve our objectives.

So far, MPA4Change has produced one policy brief and is in the process of publishing a second one, as well as to organise a dedicated policy bootcamp to inform about our latest developments in the field of policy and advocacy.

100MPA MEDALLIANCE: EMPOWERING MPA MANAGERS FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCE

The 100MPA MedAlliance is a collaborative inititative developed in the framework of MPA4Change that will enable to extend the scope of MPA4Change in time and achieve the integration of climate change adaptation strategies in 100 Mediterranean MPAs by the year 20230.

Through this first policy brief, MPA4Change wants to build momentum and political support for the 100MPA MedAlliance, encouraging MPA managers to take action and urging governments, agencies, and funders to provide the policy, technical and financial backing needed to reach 100 climate-ready MPAs by 2030.
