The UfM Delegation’s mission to Brussels, led by Deputy Secretary General for Sustainable Development, Nisreen Tamimi, provided a timely opportunity to strengthen Euro-Mediterranean cooperation on transport connectivity - a key driver of trade, investment, resilience, competitiveness and regional integration. As we enter the final phase of Regional Transport Action Plan 2021–2027 and advance the EU’s Pact for the Mediterranean and EU Ports Strategy, fruitful meetings were held with Anna Panagopoulou, Head of Cabinet of the European Commissioner for Transport and Tourism, and Mona Björklund, DG MOVE Director. #UfM #Mediterranean #Transport #Connectivity #RegionalCooperation

Not less tourism. Better tourism.
At the European Parliament session “Towards an EU climate-resilience roadmap for sustainable tourism”, UfM Deputy Secretary General for Sustainable Development, Nisreen Tamimi, highlighted the importance of regional cooperation to build more sustainable, more inclusive and more climate-ready tourism across the Mediterranean. Sustainable Tourism is fully embedded within the UfM’s regional agendas on Sustainable Blue Economy, and on Green Economy and Environment. #SustainableTourism #ClimateResilience #Mediterranean #Tourism #ClimateAction

💧 The Mediterranean is warming 20% faster than the global average, and 180 million people already live in water scarcity.

In Rome, at the @UNESCO IHP & WWAP Symposium of the Euro-Mediterranean Water Forum, UfM Senior Deputy Secretary General Mariam Diallo put it simply: cooperation is not a luxury of good times. It's a necessity in hard ones.

[Union for the Mediterranean @UfMSecretariat]

Today at the Euro-Mediterranean Water Forum in Rome, the acting UfM Secretary General, Fadi Hajali, underlined the need to turn our shared commitments on water into concrete action, following yesterday’s UfM Ministerial Meeting on Water: “Water does not respect borders, so managing it well means countries have to sit at the same table, whether or not they agree on everything else. This is where the UfM plays its role: convening countries and all relevant stakeholders to work through shared challenges together.”

Il Ministro @Antonio_Tajani ha aperto oggi alla #Farnesina la seconda Riunione ministeriale dell’Unione per il Mediterraneo sull’acqua @UfMSecretariat, insieme a Giordania @mwigovjo e Commissione Europea @JessikaRoswall. Un evento che si pone in continuità con il Forum Euromediterraneo dell’Acqua, che si apre domani a Roma.
🗣️“La priorità dell’Italia è fare del Mediterraneo allargato – fino al Golfo e all'India – un'area di pace, dialogo e crescita. La sicurezza idrica a la gestione condivisa dell’acqua sono presupposti fondamentali per questo grande obiettivo. Noi vogliamo trasformare l’acqua da terreno di competizione a strumento di dialogo e cooperazione condivisa”.

The 2nd UfM Ministerial Meeting on Water taking place today in Rome will provide UfM's 43 Member States with strategic guidance on achieving the water-related UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Climate change, conflict and gender inequality are deeply linked, so our policies should be too. Today in Cairo, we're joining @UNESCWA @UN_Women @UNDP to help Arab countries bring women, peace and security and climate plans together.
