MPA4CHANGE - Enhancing Marine Protected Areas as Nature Based Solutions for adaptation to climate change: from local actions to Mediterranean basin strategy

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.
