The “Water and Environment Support-Biodiversity and Climate Action (WES-BCA) in the Neighbourhood South region” project presented the 27 national and regional activities, trainings, study tours, workshops, consultations, as well as the large scale outreach campaigns to be delivered in the Mediterranean East and South, many of which related to Plastic Pollution, Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus, Biodiversity and Water Scarcity.
Based on the valuable feedback of the SCM’s participants on the issues to be tackled over the next 2,5 years, the plan of action is to be implemented through two complementary Components:
Under Component I, the issues covered focus on 5 topics: Prevention & Reduction of Pollution; Curbing Plastic Pollution & Marine Litter; Promoting the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus approach; Promotion of water efficiency at all steps and levels of water management and use; Climate Change mitigation and adaptation actions, including Water Scarcity and Biodiversity protection.
Under Component IΙ, the project aims to raise awareness and improve understanding by the general public (and specific segments of the population), including youth and women, stimulating adoption of appropriate behaviours and attitudes towards improved Climate Action and effective Environmental Protection.
