Mediterranean Climate Action Partnership (MCAP)

Despite their shared characteristics and experiences, Mediterranean regions face challenges in addressing their unique interests, as the urgency of their impacts is not effectively communicated through a unified voice. Officially launched at COP28 in November 2023, the Mediterranean Climate Action Partnership (MCAP) is a global alliance of regions with a mediterranean climate, working together to adapt to drought, wildfire, and heat. With leadership from the Government of Catalonia, Spain, and the State of California, United States of America leaders across impacted Mediterranean regions have come together to drive collective action around drought, wildfire, and extreme heat. Our three-year action agenda is organized around three goals: Advance learning and effective responses through member convenings and knowledge sharing; Accelerate action and policy outcomes supporting mitigation, adaptation, and resilience; and Elevate awareness through innovative communications, amplified through a common voice.
