The Mediterranean—especially its Southern and Eastern rims—is likely to be more affected by
climate change than most other regions of the globe in the 21st century.
The impacts of the rise in temperature, drop in rainfall, increase in number and intensity of extreme
events, as well as of a possible rise in sea level, could thus overlap and exacerbate the pressures due
to anthropogenic activities that are already exerted on the natural environment.
In view of the above, Plan Bleu and the European Investment Bank (EIB) have cooperated to
produce a Report on “Climate Change and Energy in the Mediterranean”.
