Bringing together key players in Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP), the MEDIGREEN project partners gathered in Madrid for a dynamic three-day event focused on accelerating the European Green Deal transition in the Mediterranean Sea.
The event kicked off on 27 January 2025 with the MEDIGREEN steering committee meeting, where partners reviewed the project’s objectives and set strategic priorities for the next phase of implementation.
On 28 January, the momentum continued with a joint conference of MEDIGREEN and MPA Europe projects, where PAP/RAC took the stage to showcase MSP activities within the Barcelona Convention system.
The final day, 29 January, featured the Mediterranean MSP Community of Practice meeting, where PAP/RAC led discussions on the MSP Working Group (WG). The session focused on exploring new pathways for collaboration between the Mediterranean Community of Practice and the WG, laying the groundwork for stronger regional cooperation.
About the project:
MEDIGREEN - "Mediterranean approach towards a maritime European GREEN Deal in MSP"— is an initiative funded by the European Maritime, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF). It aims to drive the European Green Deal transition in the Mediterranean Sea through Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP).
With extensive expertise in integrated coastal zone management and sustainable development, PAP/RAC plays a vital role in the project - particularly as MEDIGREEN fosters cooperation beyond the EU by engaging non-EU Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention, such as Albania, Algeria, and Tunisia.
