The pan-Mediterranean digital campaign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UNEP/MAP follows its route also in 2026 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Barcelona Convention through a more and more rich constellation of events around the Mediterranean Sea

On 23 July, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf (DG MENA), in collaboration with IEMed and the Med Dialogue for Rights and Equality II (MDRE II), brings together civil society representatives in Brussels for a round of consultations on the implementation of the Pact for the Mediterranean.

Close to 80 civil society organisations, social economy actors, youth- and women-led organisations, research institutions, and regional networks from across the Mediterranean are expected to take part, reflecting the broad range of stakeholders the Pact aims to engage as it moves from design to implementation.
