Climate Change in the Mediterranean and the Middle East: Challenges and Solutions

The Eastern Mediterranean Middle East (EMME) region faces alarming consequences from Climate Change, according to data analyses and model predictions, hence making mitigation and adaptation measures urgent. The region, which is home to nearly 500 million people of diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, accounts for about 50% of the world’s fossil fuel reserves, and is troubled by persistent conflicts.
The Conference will be preceded by two days of Scientific Workshops, which will focus on modelling predictions of Climate Change and its impacts – especially in the areas of sustainability, energy, health, agriculture, water security and migration – as well as examine and propose mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Although the focus is regional, this is a Conference of global importance, as indicated by the composition of the International Advisory andScientific Programme Committees. Participants at the Conference include prestigious Speakers, Panelists and Conveners, who will engage and contribute to a rich and intense Programme. European and Global Networks strongly support the Conference.
