A high-level delegation from the Climate Change Regional Activity Centre (CC/RAC) visited the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) Secretariat in Barcelona to discuss collaborative strategies for addressing climate change in the Mediterranean region.

The meeting focused on strengthening institutional cooperation between CC/RAC and UfM, particularly in areas related to climate adaptation, resilience building, and knowledge sharing across Mediterranean countries.

Key Discussion Points

Institutional Cooperation Framework

During the visit, both parties explored potential synergies in their respective mandates, with particular emphasis on joint capacity-building programmes for Mediterranean countries, shared data platforms for climate monitoring, collaborative research initiatives on climate impacts, and technical assistance frameworks for vulnerable communities.
