Description

Description Launched in 1973, the collaboration platform is led by the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe (CPMR), which implements a wide array of policies and initiatives as an important contribution to the fight against climate change. They also involve concrete initiatives in the field of adaptation in many coastal regions and are key to drive effective adaptation of the concerned regions to climate change.

The CPMR also insists on effective multi-level governance in the implementation of the COP21 climate agreement, in which regions have a key role to play. A bottom-up approach with regional plans for CO2 emissions reduction and adaptation that feed into the National plans can improve accuracy of data and credibility of plans.

Objectives Reducing greenhouse gas emissions;

Developing new, more sustainable energy solutions; Facilitating whenever possible maritime energy production technologies, setting the example of an industrial model paradigm shift by boosting a low carbon and circular economy; Adapting to climate change in continuation of the Mexico Pact.

Activities Development of coastal data (at the initiative of the regions, in collaboration with national bodies with expertise in this area), and networking of regional observatories at sea-basin level;

Development of expertise of coastal erosion, and on technical ways to deal with it; Development of specific strategies for Integrated Coastal management.
