We are the global alliance of regions with a mediterranean climate, working together to adapt to drought, wildfire, and heat.

regions with mediterranean environments share climate challenges

More than 2% of the total global land area across 5 continents with similar cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers

Home to more than 600 million people and 5 of the world’s 36 biodiversity hotspots

Highly developed tourism and agricultural sectors that are critical to the global economy & trade

Increasingly impacted by climate change via more frequent and severe droughts, wildfires, & extreme heat

With their shared characteristics and experiences, Mediterranean regions must come together to more effectively communicate as a unified voice to elevate the urgency of climate impacts on the global stage and advocate for resources to accelerate climate adaptation and resilience

Subnational Leadership in Mediterranean Bioregions
