Mediterranean countries prepare for the MEDCOP Climate 2016 

The MedCOP Climate 2016 will be hosted in Tangiers, Morocco, from the 18th to the 19th of July. The main aim is to help build a regional Mediterranean perspective contributing to international efforts against climate change,  and exchange experiences and concrete solutions for adaptation and mitigation action in the region. 

Organized by the Region of Tanger-Tétouan-AlHoceima, the MedCOP Climate 2016 will gather representatives from Mediterranean countries, including the private sector, civil society, and regional and international organizations. Existing projects and initiatives related to climate action will be presented and innovative ideas relevant to the region formulated.

The conference is an important milestone for the Mediterranean countries to discuss the Paris Agreement adopted in December 2015, while preparing for the upcoming COP22 which will take place from 7 to 18 November 2016 in Marrakech, Morocco.
