Different meetings will take place during the UfM Climate Week: The Seventh Meeting of the UfM Climate Change Expert Group (UfM CCEG); A dedicated workshop on the impact of climate change on the agricultural sector; The 6th meeting of the Regional Climate Finance Committee (RCFC); The UfM Climate Change Scientific meeting with the MedECC network, a community of more than 400 scientists from 35 countries studying the effects of climate and environmental changes in the region.
