The Mediterranean region is experiencing increasing environmental degradation due to:
The MedProgramme is a structured response to these threats, building on the achievements of previous projects (MedPartnership, ClimVar, ICZM, etc.).
The MedProgramme (2020-2026) is a major regional initiative funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), with a budget of $43 million, implemented in ten Mediterranean countries: Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Montenegro, Tunisia, and Türkiye.
The programme is coordinated by UNEP/MAP (Mediterranean Action Plan) and is supported by a broad partnership of UN agencies, multilateral development banks (EBRD, EIB), regional activity centers (PAP/RAC, Plan Bleu, MedWaves, SPA/RAC, INFO/RAC), international NGOs (IUCN Med, WWF Med, GWP Med), and research institutes.
The MedProgramme aims to strengthen environmental security and climate resilience in the Mediterranean region by addressing key transboundary challenges: land-based pollution, sustainable water management, marine biodiversity protection, climate change adaptation, and gender mainstreaming.
Specifically, the MedProgramme aims to:
The programme is structured around eight complementary child projects, organized into four operational pillars:
Plan Bleu contributes to the development of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), integrating its work on foresight, indicators, and socio-economic analysis. The Med2050 project feeds into the TDA through regional foresight analyses and the organization of workshops.
Plan Bleu, in collaboration with PAP/RAC, has supported the preparation of national Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) strategies, coastal plans, and methodological guidelines, particularly through the participatory Climagine foresight approach for climate change adaptation.
The Climagine methodology, developed and implemented by Plan Bleu, is based on a participatory approach to identify sustainability dimensions, define indicators, develop strategic diagrams, and formulate recommendations for coastal plans and national ICZM strategies. This approach fosters stakeholder engagement and the production of monitoring indicators for coastal sustainability.

Plan Bleu conducted two gender-sensitive climate risk assessments at two pilot sites: Kotor Bay (Montenegro) and the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region (Morocco), with the Montenegro assessment revised and translated into French in 2025. Gender indices (Gender-Development-Index and Gender-Inequality-Index) were used to produce maps published on Plan Bleu’s Observatory in 2025.
