🌎 We are in COP16 Colombia in #Cali where we started our participation reaching out to those who can change things! The Secretary General of #MedCities, Josep Canals-Molina, has been one of the speakers of the round table in which he has presented, in a #Mediterranean key, which are the needs of #urban environmental authorities regarding #water care and how #climatecrsis processes affect the inhabitants' conditions in expanding cities. 🌎 Also, #MedCities participated in the session ‘Cities at peace with nature’ in which the Secretary-General spoke at the session ‘Environmental Governance and Local Action in Small and Intermediate #Cities’ in which he presented the network of #Mediterranean cities and some of the key projects for the organisation that focus their activity on strengthening #governance between various local and sub-state authorities. This session focused on the relevance of #small and medium-sized #cities, and offered a rich dialogue on their challenges and opportunities. 🌊 The third day at the #COP16 #MedCities SG could be at the session: 'Bridging COP 16 to UNOC 3: Accelerating Marine Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use' that leverages the KMGBF and the BBNJ* Agreement, to underscore their synergies and show concrete examples from several countries, paving the way for #UNOC3 by linking the Immersed in Change conference and CBD #COP16 to accelerate #marinebiodiversity conservation and its sustainable use. We presented the work done regarding #plasticpollution and #sea protection through projects such as BlueMissionMed. *BBNJ: Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas beyond National Jurisdiction.
