The overall project goal of the project is to promote the use of ICZM in the participating countries as an effective tool to deal with the impacts of climate variability and change in coastal zones by mainstreaming them into the ICZM process.
Two specific objectives guide the work. The first one is to strengthen knowledge on regional climate variability and change and their impacts and define their specific characteristics in the Mediterranean region. The second one is to strengthen partnerships, improve capacity building and establish mechanisms for exchange of data and information for integration of climate variability and change into concrete ICZM policies, plans and programmes.
