Organized on the initiative of the President of the Republic, the Mediterranean Worlds Forum will be held in Marseille on February 7 and 8, 2022. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n As an extension of the commitments made at the Sommet des deux rives in 2019, the Forum will bring together civil society actors from all over the Mediterranean around concrete solutions to meet our common challenges. The Forum will also be an opportunity to highlight projects and proposals made by women and men committed to these subjects. Through exchanges, it will make it possible to create networks, build bridges and launch new initiatives geared towards youth and civil society.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blue Economy \u2013 Opportunities and Prospects The Mediterranean region is a space for development which, if used sustainably, can bring economic prosperity and stability to the region through job creation, food security and trade opportunities. It is the blue economy that must be favoured, a low-polluting, circular and efficient economy in terms of resources, based on sustainable consumption and production models that do not compromise the integrity of marine and coastal ecosystems. It integrates a range of economic activities ranging from coastal and marine tourism to maritime transport, including fishing, aquaculture and renewable energies at sea, the potential of which will be discussed during this round table.<\/span><\/p>\n Speakers: <\/strong><\/p>\n Introduction by C\u00e9line Dubreuil, our program director, Plan Bleu, to recall the definition of the Blue Economy, position the debate and the state of play in the Mediterranean as well as political will.<\/p>\n Then 4 speakers<\/span> presenting case studies<\/span> <\/p>\n Moderator : Mme Sylvie Goyet (FPA2) <\/span> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Climate Change Solutions Based on their first assessment report, the MedECC network of scientists<\/span>shows us that<\/span> climatic and environmental changes in the Mediterranean region pose new challenges.

\nin the Mediterranean basin will probably be 37 to 90 cm higher than at the end of the 20th century,
\ncoastal cities will be particularly affected. Coastal systems as we know them today
\nwill be impacted like aquifers, World Heritage and other protected sites. During this workshop, the issues
\nrelated to climate change in the coastal zone will be approached in a playful and educational way, through the
\ncomic strip “Voyage en anthropog\u00e8ne” by Marie-Charlotte Bellinghery and Jo\u00ebl Guiot.<\/p>\n
