Coming Together to Create a Stronger Mediterranean Partnership

The Alliance for Mediterranean Culture and Nature continues to grow from strength to strength by drawing on our experiences as the M6 partnership, now harmonized as the AMNC, a new effective partnership for conserving the cultural landscapes of the Mediterranean.

This coming together was reflected beautifully in our long-awaited, in-person meet-up at the end of November. The AMNC partners gathered in the beautiful cultural landscapes of the Camargue in France, a biosphere reserve and natural park, home to a large diversity of animal and plant species.

Hosted by local partner Tour Du Valat and facilitated by IUCN Med, we organized a three-day capacity building workshop for members of the Alliance who were interested in improving their understanding of climate change mitigation and adaptation. During interactive workshops, we learnt more about developing nature-based climate change action plans and establishing a baseline for monitoring climate change and biodiversity in our cultural landscapes. Partners also shared their experiences on this theme through presentations.
