In the Mediterranean, in 2018, 60% of the people already lived in urban areas, and continued urbanisation trends are expected to further exacerbate the climate crisis and put further pressure on natural resources and the environment. In the light of these challenges, there is an urgent and critical need to support Southern Neighbourhood countries in their efforts to increase their resilience to climate change. The proposed programme will focus on this area of intervention and will place particular emphasis on climate adaptation measures that also protect the region¿s rich biodiversity, which has been under increasing pressure. The overall objective of the programme is to promote the green transition and increase the environmental and climate resilience of economies and communities in the region, leading to improved quality of life for men and women.
