Clima-Med is an EU-funded project that supports the transition of south Mediterranean countries to a sustainable, low carbon and climate-resilient economy by enhancing their energy security and strengthening their adaptative capacity to climate change impact.

Operating in 8 Southern Neighbourhood countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine & Tunisia, Clima-Med implemented three work packages aiming at

• Improving climate change governance and mainstreaming climate action in coordination with national authorities dealing with Climate Change
• Preparing cities’ Sustainable Energy Access and Climate Action Plans (SEACAPs) jointly with local authorities
• Developing proposals to finance cities’ climate actions and matching them with investors and funding institutions.

Clima-Med has concretely backed local authorities in financing concrete actions, mounting quick-win pilot projects that are easily replicable, and preparing funding proposals to match with investors and development agencies.

Clima-Med has boosted Communication and Awareness Raising and prepared multiple tools to promote multi-stakeholder dialogue, conduct joint campaigns, empower local authorities as awareness-raisers, and engage citizens against Climate Change.
