The Mediterranean is a region with a unique natural and cultural heritage, yet it faces increasingly concerning environmental and societal challenges. To help build a resilient future for this iconic region, we are pleased to announce the publication of the report “The Mediterranean by 2050: A Forsight by Plan Bleu”. This report marks a milestone in understanding the sustainable development issues in the Mediterranean region and offers future perspectives for the next thirty years.
MED2050: A Collaborative Foresight Study
The MED2050 report is the result of a collaboration among experts from various Mediterranean countries and fields of expertise. It presents six scenarios for the region’s future by 2050. The project aims to inform policymakers on Mediterranean issues while raising awareness among the general public, particularly the younger generations.
A Tool for a Sustainable Transition
MED2050 offers a set of “no-regrets” recommendations or measures for sustainable development, emphasizing the importance of cooperation-based solutions at different scales. Given the growing challenges, this report provides a strong foundation for coordinated regional action.
To continue these discussions, the MED2050 team plans to organize presentations and debates in the coming months, starting with three Mediterranean countries: Morocco, Tunisia, and Croatia. These events will provide opportunities for various Mediterranean stakeholders to engage in dialogue and co-create desirable futures for the region.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the researchers, experts, and partners who contributed to this ambitious initiative.
