Mediterranean warming 20% faster than the global average, says representative of the Union for the Mediterranean
On the sidelines of the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Deputy Secretary General of the Union for the Mediterranean Joaquín Borrell stated that the Mediterranean region is warming 20% faster than the global average. He linked this to risks for marine ecosystems, more frequent wildfires and floods, and called on the countries of the region to cooperate, warning that a divide between a “rich north” and a “poor south” would block consensus.
