Make the Mediterranean a cooperation area for sustainable development
In the 2000s, Plan Bleu developed the Imagine approach in collaboration with the Bayswater Institute (United Kingdom) to promote sustainable management practices in Mediterranean coastal zones. As part of the project “Integration of Climate Variability and Change into National Strategies for the Implementation of the ICZM Protocol in the Mediterranean,” the Imagine approach was adapted into “Climagine” in 2012. This adaptation specifically addresses the challenges of climate variability and change in coastal areas.
Under the GEF MedPartnership, implemented by UNEP/MAP, Climagine was first piloted at two sites:
Building on these experiences, Plan Bleu has mobilized Climagine under Child Project 2.1 of the MedProgramme (2020–2026), funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by UNEP/MAP, to support the development of integrated coastal strategies and plans in several Mediterranean countries:
The Climagine approach is based on a series of structured participatory workshops, typically organized in four stages:
Each pilot site (Morocco and Montenegro) held four workshops, with reports and outcomes published by Plan Bleu.
For Lebanon, three participatory workshops are planned for the national ICZM strategy and three local workshops for the Damour Integrated Management Plan, with corresponding reports and sustainability indicators to support monitoring.
Thanks to the MedProgramme SCCF (Special Climate Change Fund) Project, Climagine has incorporated new focus areas:
Additionally, specific studies evaluated Morocco’s and Montenegro’s capacities to mobilize finance for coastal adaptation, leading to regional webinars and roundtables, with findings summarized in dedicated reports.
