The The Mediterranean Experts on Climate and environmental Change (MedECC) is launching the preparation of the Second Mediterranean Assessment Report (MAR2). MAR2 aims to provide updated scientific knowledge and comprehensive understanding of climate and environmental challenges specific to the Mediterranean region.
Many Mediterranean governments and decision-makers have shown strong interest in MAR1 and the subsequent Special Reports, making MedECC a key reference in the science-policy interface in the Mediterranean. To support at best decision-making, MAR2 should reflect substantial progress in science and assess the state of actions related to climate and environmental changes since MAR1, identify knowledge gaps, inform areas that require additional research and data collection, and highlight the gaps in terms of actions to combat climate and environmental changes.
