Organisational structure | There is a General Assembly for all the Member Regions that are members of the initiative which convene annually. They adopt the Conference's policy guidelines and budget. In addition, the college of member regions from each country nominates one of their number as a representative to the Political Bureau, as well as a substitute member. They have a two-year term. The Political Bureau meets twice a year. It proposes policy guidelines for the Conference and implements the decisions adopted by the General Assembly.The President and Vice-Presidents can meet in an "Executive Board" meeting if necessary. |

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. |
