The Second International Conference on Climate Change in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East

The Second International Conference on Climate Change in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East will take place at the Aphrodite Hills Resort, Cyprus on October 13-14, 2021. This is a follow-on to the most successful and important First Conference on Climate Change in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, which took place in Nicosia in May 2018.

The Conference will bring together regional governments and international scientists, policy-makers, experts and decision-makers in order to discuss scientific recommendations upon which to form a Regional Climate Action Plan for the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East (EMME) region.

The Conference will be organized as an online event as well as a meeting in person. Additional information and registration is available at: www.climatechange2021.org.

The Future Earth MENA Regional Center (FEMRC) and the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Region Nodal Office (GLP NO-MENA) will organize a pre-conference workshop in Nicosia on October 11-12, 2021. The major goals of the workshop comprise:

• To provide a distinct regional perspective on challenges in the MENA region;
• To shed lights on the urgent need to address climate change impacts on local communities and countries in the region and 
• To discuss common goals and objectives and to explore possible synergies between Future Earth and the Global Land Project in the MENA region.

The public parts of workshop will be available on-line to any interested participant and will be held in person with invited participants.
