Relevant linked projects:
- - (FR), Panoramed (EN) | The Panoramed Project is a governance platform with the aim to support the process of strengthening and developing multilateral cooperation frameworks in the Mediterranean region to work together for joint response sto common challenges.
- It recognised mainstreaming as a process requiring leadership, active management and participation of givers, receivers, and facilitators and requiring a good flow of information both vertically and horizontally regarding priorities and needs, and dedicated resources to implement.
- The Dialogue4Nature project will integrate relevant information from the main achievements of the Panoramed project in which some of the partners were involved and that could be useful to include challenges such as the sustainability, digitalisation and specially in governance.
- The Euro-MED Dialogue4Nature project will incorporate and consider the knowledge generated by the PANORAMED project through: the Dialogue4Nature proposed thematic dialogues that will improve information flows in support of better multi-level governance. Policy, stakeholder and best practices mapping exercises will aid the strengthening of coordination and facilitation of mainstreaming. In particular: analyses will aim to identify framework conditions as a way to identify policy gaps and so prioritise mainstreaming strategies, facilitating more rapid transfer and mainstreaming.
- (EN), -- (FR), PANACEA (EN), - (FR) | The objective of the PANACeA horizontal project (2016-2019) was to streamline networking and management efforts in Mediterranean Protected Areas (PAs) as a mechanism to enhance nature conservation and protection in the region. The project aimed to ensure synergies between relevant Mediterranean stakeholders –including managers, policymakers, socio-economic actors, civil society and the scientific community – and to increase the visibility and impacts of the thematic projects’ results towards common identified strategic targets. It acted as the communication and capitalisation instrument of thematic projects dealing with protection of biodiversity and natural ecosystems.
- The main thematic focus areas included coastal and marine management, biodiversity monitoring, sustainable use of natural resources, management of protected areas, global changes, governance, cooperation and scientific and innovative methodologies, under the umbrella of 11 thematic projects.
- PANACeA acted as a Science-Policy-Interface (SPI) to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge sharing and thus influenced a behavioural and policy change in the Mediterranean region.
- The Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection Community (MBPC) (2019-2022) already consolidated the results of this project. Some partners of Dialogue4Nature are members of the partnership of Dialogue4Nature which will ensure to build on the previous work, with emphasis on the contribution towards the solutions developed by the modular projects. (EN), -- (FR), - (FR), Interreg Med Horizontal project:
- Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection Community (MBPC) (EN) | -- (FR), The Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection Community project (2019-2022) is a continuation of the PANACeA project (2016 to 2019). It aims at “mainstreaming management efforts for environmental sustainability and increasing the impact of biodiversity protection projects towards common identified strategic goals”.
- The MBPC facilitated multisectoral dialogue with the scientific community to ensure an effective policy-management-science interface in the Mediterranean related to biodiversity protection and sustainable development. It pursued the long term strategic goal of the Interreg MED programme by reaching beyond EU Member States into the whole Mediterranean basin. It aimed to feed EU, UNEP/MAP Barcelona Convention and CBD policies linked to the protection of natural resources for sustainable development in Mediterranean protected areas and key ecological function units and ecosystems.
- The Dialogue4Nature project will integrate the results and the knowledge of the 17 Modular projects that were part of the MBPC from 2019-2022. This will be ensured by the partners that were members of the MBPC (Plan Bleu, MedCities, Ministry of Montenegro and Marine Institute) all of them members of the three working groups that have been promoting collaborative work and helping build capacity in partners and interested actors for effective biodiversity protection.
- Furthermore, the Dialogue4Nature project will incorporate in the implementation of their activities all the experience and lessons learned during the past 3 years concerning the community building,transferring and capitalization processes and, therefore, this will be the basis to support the project to create a transfering potential with a broader approach, linking with other networks, strategies, programmes and initiatives.
- (EN), - (FR), Interreg Med Horizontal project: Blue Growth Community(BGC) (EN) | -- (FR), The Mediterranean Blue Growth community (2019-2022), after laying the foundations for a strong community during the project’s 1st phase (InnoBlueGrowth project, 2016-2019), has developed its capitalization phase. It assisted and coordinated the modular/integrated projects dealing with Blue Growth in their communication and capitalization activities, creating and ensuring internal (inter-community) and external synergies, knowledge sharing, transfer and capitalization for policy-making project recommendations take-on by key stakeholders (projects, SMEs, decision-makers, technicians, researchers, etc.). This innovative community made possible to strengthen the working ties between MED Blue Growth projects and transnational key stakeholders, to support Mediterranean clusters and favour the dissemination and transferability of several MED Blue Growth projects’ results.
- Some of the project partners participated in these projects and thematic projects (BLUEFASMA) which will ensure synergies among what has already been done showcasing the crucial role of cooperation among Horizontal projects as seen through specific activities such as the Regional guidelines for the sustainability of cruise and recreational boating sectors in the Mediterranean, technical factsheets and other capitalisation activities.
- Partners such as MedCities and Plan Bleu have been members of the Horizontal and modular projects and they will contribute to keep working together.
- (EN), - (FR), Interreg Med Horizontal project: Sustainable tourism Community (STC) (EN) | -- (FR), The Mediterranean Sustainable Tourism community Interreg MED horizontal project (2019-2022) is the new phase of the BlueTourMed project (2016-2019) and it relied on 30 thematic projects involving more than 200 organisations (mainly public authorities, universities, NGOs and international organisations) active in 13 European countries to promote sustainable tourism by capitalizing on tools and good practices developed by its projects.
- The main goal of the second phase was to mainstream the results of the projects into European, national, regional and local policies, also having in mind how they can contribute to a green and digital post-Covid tourism recovery and the EU Green Deal challenges by:
- Enhancing attractiveness and tourism offer with alternatives to mass tourism;
- Addressing tourism pressures by reducing the impact of tourism; and
- Strengthening planning and management practices by measuring sustainability.
- The mediterranean region is one of the most visited regions worldwide and this economic activity as a cross-cutting one has been producing negative externalities in the Region. Some partners of the partnership have been involved in both phases of the STC and its thematic projects (DESTIMED, Destimed Plus, Incircle) which will ensure synergies with what has already been done.
- Partners such as MedCities, IUCN Med, Region of Sardinia, region of Crete and Plan Bleu have been members of the Horizontal and modular projects and they will ensure to build on the main achievements on sustainable tourism.
- Furthermore, through the last call on governance, Plan Bleu is a member of the newly approved Thematic Community Project and it will ensure potential synergies among both projects.

The project’s pathway to the implementation builds on, connect and structure existing initiatives and activities to disseminate and upscale solutions and mobilise relevant actors with the aim of preventing and reducing pollution of our ocean, seas and waters.
- MedCities is partner to this Coordination and Support Action of high relevance to the Nature Mission, especially regarding integrated policy approaches to water management and linking land and sea policies. We will work to integrate its activities within our dialogues and capitalisation activities where appropriate.
- (EN), -- (FR), - (FR), ENhancing Socio-Ecological RESilience in Mediterranean coastal areas (ENSERES) (EN) | ENSERES is an ENI CBC MED project Capitalisation project .ENSERES is seeking transformative changes with an integrated solution approach at transboundary level, both in and outside areas under legal protection, and involving public authorities, socio-economic actors and civil society organisations engaged in natural and urban areas. Specifically, it focuses on transferring and mainstreaming ecosystem-based management tools to implement integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) processes in multi-level conservation and territorial practices. MedCities leads WP3 on Transfer, replication and upscaling. These activities focus on increasing the capacity of local and regional stakeholders, and support intervention models in pilot sites as examples of transformative actions. They are delivered through transfer and re-use of robust ICZM and ecosystem-based management tools and best practices in the project territories, capitalising on well-developed results of past and ongoing ENI’s and Interreg Med initiatives.
- ENSERES will build the capacities to set common goals for public authorities and natural resource users, boost sustainable financing mechanisms for co-management, and act for the operative territorialisation of actions at various scales. Based on transferring activities at pilot site level in the Gulf of Gades (Tunisia) and the area of the Tyre Coast Nature Reserve (Libanon), outreach activities will ensure the dissemination of approaches at Pan-Mediterranean level through existing networks such as the Mediterranean Protected Areas Network (MedPAN), the Network of Mediterranean coastal cities (MedCities) and the network of managers of Specially Protected Areas of Mediterranean Importance (SPAMI network).
- MedCities is partner of this project and will ensure the collaboration among both projects
- (EN), -- (FR), - (FR), Destimed Plus
- (EN) | -- (FR), DestiMED PLUS project is a modular tourism project aiming at improving the integration of conservation and tourism policies at the scale of Regions. The project developed a questionnaire of assessment of policy integration for regions as well as a database of best practices, that will be used as a reference and starting point in this proposal. The project also established a Mediterranean Ecotourism consortium of policy makers for tourism and conservation, that will be considered as reference process for the working groups establishment
- IUCN Med, Region of Sardinia, Region of Crete were members of this project and would ensure to capitalise on the main results and established networks
- (EN), - (FR), Coastal Protection Strategy for the Balearic Islands Considering the effects of climate change, from the Structural Reform Support Programme of the European Union (EN) | - (FR), The project sought to understand and characterise coastal erosion challenges under an integrated approach, regarding all aspects of the coastal zone, and under the modern approach for Disaster Risk Management. It also proposes a planning instrument for coastal protection (the Strategy) including the viable alternatives addressing all phases of the Disaster Risk Management cycle (including prevention and recovery) and the corresponding implementation plan.
- MedCities led the Communication and stakeholders engagement work package with special focus on engaging local governments in the revision of the diagnosis and the prioritisation of measures. A similar project, also participated by MedCities, developed the Strategies for Coastal Protection for the provinces of Cádiz, Málaga and Almeria. MedCities will build on these experiences in support of Dialogue4Nature aims
- (EN), Ocean Cities Network (OC-NET), Endorsed Ocean Decade Action. (EN), - (FR) | - (FR), Ocean Cities (OC-NET) is a network of marine cities committed with sustainability, permeability and regeneration of natural marine environments, for and with its population. OC‐NET is an interdisciplinary and bottom‐up transformative program, which will change how coastal cities and their inhabitants perceive, interact and evolve with the ocean, from the surrounding waters to the single global ocean. OC-NET relies on the city council of Barcelona and two city networks, MedCities and C40, among its founding partners, together with world wide research institutions,
- (EN), WaterLANDS, European Horizon 2020 Green Deal (EN), - (FR) | - (FR), WaterLANDS (Water-based solutions for carbon storage, people and wilderness) is a 32-partner project funded by the European Horizon 2020 Green Deal programme. WaterLANDS will restore wetlands decimated by human activity in Europe and lay the foundations for upscaling wetland restoration and conservation over much larger areas. The project officially started on 1 December 2021 and will contribute to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030).
- WaterLANDS aims to promote the expansion of wetland restoration. Socio-economic factors, insufficient stakeholder engagement, lack of government commitment, lack of funding and inadequate knowledge exchange on restoration methods have all been identified as barriers to effective wetland restoration.. WaterLANDS will seek to overcome these obstacles by investigating the combination of factors that will enable wetland restoration to spread across Europe.
- Plan Bleu is mainly involved in governance activities aiming at identifying the political and governance conditions that contribute to the success of the process of development and implementation of ecological restoration of wetlands and associated ecosystems. Plan Bleu will also contribute to communication activities, as well as to restoration advocacy with various stakeholders at the Mediterranean, European and international levels
- (EN), REST-COAST (EN), - (FR) | - (FR), REST-COAST will develop the large-scale river-coast connectivity and increase the nearshore accommodation space for the resilient delivery of coastal ecosystem services (ESS). The selected ESS (risk reduction, environmental quality and fish provisioning) touch urgent coastal problems such as the erosion/flooding during recent storms or the accelerating coastal habitat degradation that seriously affects fisheries and aquaculture. By enhancing these ESS under present and future climates at 9 Pilots that represent the main EU regional seas (Baltic, Black, North, Atlantic and Mediterranean) we shall increase the commitment of citizens, stakeholders and policy makers for a long-term maintenance of restoration. Such commitment will go together with a transformation of governance and financial structures, supported by evidence-based results on restoration benefits for the welfare of coastal societies and assets. This transformation will build upon the results from hands-on restoration at the Pilots, steered by the multidisciplinary project advances.
- IUCN MED will ensure synergies with this project.
- (EN), European Topic centre on Climate change adaptation (ETC- CA) (EN), - (FR) | - (FR), The European Topic Centre on Climate change adaptation and LULUCF (ETC CA) is a Consortium of 16 European organisations, including Plan Bleu,with expertise in the topic area of climate change adaptation and Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) working in partnership with the European Environment Agency under a framework partnership agreement for the period 2022-2026.
- As an integral part of Eionet the mission of the ETC CA is to assist the EEA in informing and supporting the EU policy processes and their developments by providing relevant information, improving the existing knowledge base and to assist member countries in the area of climate change adaptation. Ultimately, the ETC CA work also follows and feeds into the cycle of large assessments every 5 years on the “European State of the Environment and Outlook Report” – SOER (2020 being the most recent; 2025 being the upcoming one).
- Plan Bleu will ensure synergies among both projects.
- (EN), - (FR), BLUEFasma (EN) | - (FR), BLUEFasma Interreg Med modular project belonging to the Blue Growth Community seeks to increase innovation capacity to enhance circular economy performance in the fishing and aquaculture sector in the Mediterranean area. Its overall objective is to empower SMEs’ innovation capacity, maritime clusters and networks, Public Authorities, and other key actors to boost blue circular economy growth in the Mediterranean insular, island, and coastal areas.
- BLUEFasma has provided a number of outputs as:
- A set of tools (Circular economy self-assessment tool; e-network; a circular economy knowledge base
- The BLUEFasma living labs, that apply a methodology based on experiential learning, which involves the participants in the procedures. The knowledge generated by the project helps the participants improve their circularity, save money and add value to their products by implementing good practices.
- Policy Outputs: Bluefasma developed a White paper and a set of Policy Recommendations to enhance circularity in the Fisheries and aquaculture sector.
- The BLUEfasma project is an initiative of 14 European partners launched in Catalonia by MedCities and the Agency for Economic Development of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB), with the support of the Fishermen’s Guild of Catalonia among other actors.

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- EuropeanGreenDeal Effective policies for climate change adaptation and mitigation, and biodiversity are central to delivering the EU green deal. Implementing these policies in an integrated way, to provide for a just transition and recovery from Covid-19, and to make society resilient to future risks is challenging. The project will support new approaches to policy design to meet this challenge, approaches that must be effective at a range of scales and build on past investments in governance innovation.
- TerritorialAgenda2030 Agenda 2030 calls for a Just and a Green Europe.
- For a Just Europe, a particular strength of this project is its Regional dimension and ability to address regional disparities in quality of life and economic development. For a Green Europe, this project will develop mechanisms to improve delivery of international commitments (CBD, UNFCC, SDGs) in a coordinated fashion between regions, helping to position a healthy environment at the centre of regional policy.
- Dialogue4Nature's activities will strengthen the integrated and unitary approach in the territorial declination of the Agenda 2030.
- EUStrategyAdriaticIonianRegion -
- EUStrategyAlpineRegion EUSALP Strategy calls for a more inclusive environmental framework for all against a context of water, energy and connectivity challenges, and significant environmental risks especially from climate change. Managing these diverse policy needs requires effective governance, balancing priorities between competing demands. This in turn requires access to effective policy solutions, clear understanding of strategic priorities, and strong commitments to good environmental governance from Regions.
- Other WestMED is unique amongst macro-regional strategies in the Med, involving third countries, which raises particular challenges regarding the reduction of disparities in institutional capacities, governance and environmental quality. Strong coordination is needed. As a target stakeholder, The Dialogue4Nature project will develop it’s activities in close coordination with WestMED programme in order to offer common solutions and provide support towards influencing WestMED nature policy processes at the strategy level.
- Other We aim to support the implementation of international commitments on biodiversity (CBD), climate (UNFCC) and sustainable development (SDGs) through supporting Regions in the Mediterranean to understand better how to support their delivery through well designed and targeted policy, coordinated with others (through mechanism such as Barcelona Convention Protocols, Union for Mediterranean strategies, etc) to have maximum impact.
- Other The Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development (MSSD) 2016-2025 provides an integrative policy framework to translate the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Mediterranean region, guiding national strategies and stimulating regional cooperation. A new MSSD for the period 2026-2035 will be developed. Dialogue4Nature aims to provide input to this revision through its dialogues and expert working groups.
- Other -
- Other A comprehensive, long-term plan for protecting nature and reversing the degradation of ecosystems. promoting biodiversity recovery by 2030 with benefits for people, the climate and the planet. A core part of the European Green Deal , the Biodiversity Strategy will also support a green recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The Dialogue4Nature project will support the objectives of the EU biodiversity Strategy through its activities, by improving the institutional dialogue among stakeholders.
- Other The Strategy has four principle objectives: to make adaptation smarter, swifter and more systemic, and to step up international action on adaptation to climate change.
- The Dialogue4Nature project through its TWGs will support the implementation of the Eu strategy on adaptation to climate change. The partners will also ensure liaising activities with key European stakeholders such as the European Topics on Climate change adaptation and Mediterranean stakeholders such as the MedECC. Dialogue4Nature's activities will strengthen the integrated and unitary approach in the territorial declination of the Agenda 2030
- Other The European Commission will put forward a proposal for legally binding EU nature restoration targets, as part of its 2030 Biodiversity Strategy. Restoring EU’s ecosystems will help to increase biodiversity, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and prevent and reduce the impacts of natural disasters.
- At Mediterranean, national and regional scales the implications of this law for policy must be understood and applied through nature policy. Dialogue4Nature dialogues will provide a platform for such discussions.
- Other Based on the recommendations of the evaluation of the implementation of the SAPBIO during the period 2004-2018, the COP21 of the Barcelona Convention COP21 requested the Secretariat to prepare in 2020-2021 the Post-2020 Strategic Action Programme for the Conservation of Biological Diversity and Sustainable Management of Natural Resources in the Mediterranean Region (Post-2020 SAPBIO), aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and harmonised with the CBD Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and other relevant global and regional frameworks.
- The new Post-2020 SAPBIO is not intended to be an additional layer of commitments for countries but rather a tool to strengthen and streamline the implementation of the plans and strategies they have already adopted at national and international level.
- While bringing a high level of ambitions, the Post-2020 SAP BIO is designed to be action-oriented and made of activities tailored towards realistic objectives that countries could reasonably achieve with the coordination of relevant international organisations and the support of donors and funding agencies.
- All the riparian countries that are signatories to the Barcelona Convention have been involved in the development of the Post-2020 SAP BIO.
- Plan Bleu as a Regional Activity Centre to the Barcelona Convention (BC) will ensure the link between Dialogue4Nature and the BC initiatives.
- Other The Post-2020 Roadmap for Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas is an operational document aimed to be a living and regularly evaluated blueprint that generates the buy-in of all stakeholders needed to be involved in the implementation of its recommendations for the Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas.
- Some partners of the Dialogue4Nature project participated in the MPA Forum 2020 held in November 2021 in Monaco. An important part of the Forum’s programme was therefore focused on the finalisation of the post-2020 MPA roadmap and the development of an implementation framework aligned with the post-2020 global biodiversity framework being developed by the Convention on Biological Diversity and complementary to the post-2020 regional strategy for MPAs and OECMs in the Mediterranean, which was developed under the Barcelona Convention.
- Plan Bleu committed to support the Post-2020 MPA Roadmap with specific actions and will form the link with the Dialogue4Nature project.
