3nd Mediterranean Green Week

Overview

The Mediterranean Green Week is the UfM’s annual event dedicated to advancing regional cooperation on the green transition and climate resilience in the Euro-Mediterranean region.

At a time when the Mediterranean is facing rising climate impacts, water stress, energy pressures and increasing natural hazards, the Mediterranean Green Week offers a regional platform to connect policy dialogue, technical cooperation and public engagement for a more resilient and sustainable Mediterranean.
