Description

The independent network of Mediterranean Experts on Climate and environmental Change (MedECC), established in 2015, has prepared the First Mediterranean Assessment Report (MAR1) which assesses the best available scientific knowledge on climate and environmental change and associated risks in the Mediterranean Basin in order to render it accessible to policymakers, stakeholders and citizens. The report includes a Summary for Policymakers (SPM), which comprises the key messages of the MAR1 and which has been translated in nine languages (English, Arabic, Catalan, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Turkish).

The report has been written by 190 scientists from 25 countries, all contributing in individual capacity and without financial compensation. 

The UNEP/MAP – Barcelona Convention Secretariat, through its Plan Bleu Regional Activity Center, and the Secretariat of the Union for the Mediterranean work in partnership to support MedECC, and to contribute to establish a sound and transparent scientific assessment process.
