PARLIAMENTARY ASSEMBLY – UNION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN

ASSEMBLEE PARLEMENTAIRE – UNION POUR LA MEDITERRANEE

الجمعية البرلمانية لالتحاد من اجل المتوسط

Committee on Energy, Environment and Water

The Committee on Energy, Environment and Water of the Parliamentary Assembly of

the Union for the Mediterranean:

1. Considers that, 25 years after the Barcelona Declaration, an enhanced

Euro-Mediterranean partnership remains a strategic imperative for the region, as the

challenges it continues to face today, especially the era of profound ecological

uncertainty caused by the effects of climate change, require a common response.

Welcomes, in this regard, the publication by the European Commission on February 9,

2021, the new agenda for the Mediterranean, which offers a propitious framework for

strengthening cooperation between the countries of both shores.

2. Reaffirms its commitment to limiting global temperature increase to the goals of

the Paris Agreement and to ensuring that the voice of the Mediterranean, common asset

of the communities bordering the Mediterranean, is heard at the international level.

Recognises that only in a greater spirit of international commitment and approaches that

ensure a balance of interests among all countries party to the Paris Agreement signed in

2015, will it be possible to limit global warming below 1.5°C and to tackle the

challenges the Mediterranean is facing, such as extreme heat waves, major fires, the

intensification of heavy rainfall events, water scarcity, drought, desertification of land

and food shortages due to the reduction of viable agricultural land, as well as the

impacts of climate change on the Mediterranean Sea (deep warming, acidification,

pollution...).

3. Encourages concerted and coordinated climate action by all member states and

regions, building partnerships and alliances with states, institutions producers, workers
