Climate change is expected to severely impact the MENA region and tackling climate change is therefore a key priority both for the Mediterranean countries’ governments and for their international partners. After the historic agreement reached in Paris last November and in the run-up to the COP 22 in Marrakesh, our “EIB MED Conference: Climate Action in the Mediterranean” will focus on climate change adaptation, mitigation and climate finance.

A lively debate between panelists and audience will take place in three consecutive sessions:

• Session I – From Paris to Marrakech – The road travelled since COP21
• Session II – Increasing support for adaptation: Why it matters in the MED region
• Session III – Climate Finance
