Mediterranean Coast and Macro-Regional Strategies Week 2026

The 11th Mediterranean Coast and Macro-Regional Strategies Week, hosted September 15–17, 2026, in Izola, Slovenia, convenes regional authorities, EU institutions, climate adaptation specialists, development professionals, and environmental experts from EUSAIR (EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region) member states to advance integrated climate resilience and sustainable development across the Mediterranean region. The event facilitates knowledge exchange on climate-proofing coastal and inland infrastructure, transboundary water resource management, forest fire prevention and risk reduction, disaster resilience planning, and nature-based solutions for ecosystem restoration and biodiversity protection. Programming emphasizes cross-border cooperation mechanisms, EU funding and financing instruments for adaptation projects, integrated coastal zone management, blue economy sustainability, and macro-regional coordination frameworks that strengthen climate adaptation capacity while supporting equitable economic development and environmental protection across Adriatic and Ionian communities.
