Public Policies and Action Plans – Mediterranean Cities and Climate Change

— 22 September 2016, by Hubert Mazurek

Mediterranean workshop on environmental urban public policies and climate change action plans cross-disciplinary analysis. This workshop is organized by Avitem and MC3 and will take place on the 27th and 28th of September 2016.

MC3 would like to gather specialists of Mediterranean countries who are able to provide a transversal analysis on policies and regional and national action plans, with the aim of publishing a synthesis of their reflections on the white book. This analysis must not be a simple summary but rather a proposition for a critical cross-disciplinary approach to different geographical and sector-specific contexts.

Four questions are proposed:

1 – What are the strategies and action plans’ characteristics? How could we describe the core of these plans?
2 – Do the policies consider urban particularities of Mediterranean region (climate, culture, architecture, etc.)?
3 – Is there an autonomy in the realisation of the plans, especially at the local and regional levels?
4 – What are the indicators, criteria, procedures, etc. developed to monitor the implementation and the impacts of these plans?
