The main objective of the MedECC is to update and consolidate the best scientific knowledge about climate and environmental change in the Mediterranean Basin and render it accessible to policymakers, key stakeholders and citizens. This is achieved mainly through the publication of the assessments reports and their summaries for policymakers, the infographics and the videos, that you may discover here below.
