On November 4-5, a regional workshop on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for coastal adaptation was held in Tangier, Morocco, as part of the GEF MedProgramme SCCF. This event, which brought together over 70 participants, provided an opportunity to share innovative approaches to enhance the resilience of coastal areas to climate challenges.
Key Takeaways
- Well-managed forests play a crucial role in climate resilience and water management in the Mediterranean (Robin Degron, Plan Bleu).
- Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) requires long-term integration for sustainable benefits (Atifa Kassam, UNEP Nairobi).
- A combined approach integrating natural, societal, and grey solutions is essential for comprehensive adaptation (CAR/PAP).
Next Steps
The outcomes of this workshop will help prepare the regional roundtable on private financing for coastal adaptation, scheduled for December 2-3 in Athens.
