The MedCOP Climate 2016 is a Mediterranean multi-actor climate conference aiming to contribute through a regional perspective to the international efforts against climate change, in view of the upcoming COP22 which will take place from 7 to 18 November 2016 in Marrakech.
 
The Conference will gather the representatives from Mediterranean countries, private sector, civil society, as well as regional and international organisations who will have the opportunity to interact and exchange the ideas during different formats of activities: debates, workshops, events and side-events.

It will also enable the stakeholders to present their projects and inform about the development of these projects.
