Other description
Rising temperatures, heat waves, heavy rainfall, flooding, and cost erosion are some of the problems currently shared by Mediterranean cities. For this reason, some fifteen experts from cities that are part of the MedCities network have shared the solutions they are implementing in their cities to adapt to the climate crisis.
During the workshop ‘Metropolitan initiatives to adapt to climate change in the Mediterranean’, which took place on 18 and 19 September 2024 at the headquarters of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB), the experts shared their experiences around four round tables. Increasing coastal resilience to climate change and the restoration of ecosystems, urban planning in cities, sustainable mobility, and green and key infrastructures were the central themes of this event organised by MedCities, in collaboration with and with funding from the AMB.
