What We Do
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.
Since its inauguration in December 2023, MCAP has established three Technical Work Groups (Drought, Wildfire, and Heat) to drive key components of our 2024-2026 Action Agenda. These Work Groups, composed of technical experts from across our global membership, are tasked with developing actionable knowledge products, supporting on-the-ground projects, and scaling collective action.
As leaders of sub-national governments with mediterranean climates across five continents, we come together to protect our communities and ecosystems and accelerate action to combat climate change. Our governments across states, provinces, and regions are on the front lines of confronting climate emergencies and taking action to protect our residents.
The partership will…
Expand public awareness of climate impacts and solutions in our regions and around the world, with innovative communications amplified through a common voice.
Learn from each other and build capacity around what does and does not work to confront shared climate threats through member convenings, study tours, and expert exchanges.
Accelerate concrete actions in mediterranean regions to protect our communities from climate change impacts, while reducing greenhouse gas pollution, conserving ecosystems, halting biodiversity loss, implementing nature-based climate solutions, increasing nature restoration, and accelerating the clean energy transition.
Exchange approaches on policies, programs and governance, investment and economic development strategies, and foster research collaboration that advances shared knowledge on trends and impacts.
Track and report progress to the global community in appropriate settings.
