MedAdapt

A knowledge platform for climate-Resilient Mediterranean Coasts

Supporting Mediterranean countries in strengthening climate-resilient coastal and marine systems through shared knowledge, practical tools, and regional experience.

Explore adaptation options, real-world case studies, regional climate insights, and practical guidance to help safeguard coastal communities, ecosystems, and livelihoods across the Mediterranean.

Climate projections

The Mediterranean is warming around 20% faster than the global average, posing urgent risks—especially from rising sea levels. Temperatures are projected to exceed 2°C by 2040 and reach around 2.3°C by 2050. What was once expected by the end of the century is now likely by mid-century. These shifts will intensify droughts, floods, and heatwaves—both on land and at sea.
