Spread over 4 sessions in October and November 2021, MEDAC organised a postgraduate MEDAC seminar on the themes of Multilateralism and Diplomacy in the Mediterranean as they address Climate Change.
The Seminar brought together experts from Malta, Germany, other EU countries and the Arab world in an effort to take stock of the current situation and look at ways forward. The climate emergency is considered as the key challenge for the Mediterranean which suffers disproportionately from its effects.
