Malta is set to host a ministerial conference for Mediterranean countries this September, focusing on the regional impact of sea level rise linked to climate change. It will mark the first time countries from across the Mediterranean come together to begin drafting a coordinated regional response to this issue.
The announcement was made by Minister for the Environment and Energy, Miriam Dalli, during the MED9 meeting in Slovenia, where ministers from Mediterranean EU member states convened. Discussions at the annual forum included climate resilience and ongoing efforts to position the region as a centre for clean energy.

Mediterranean Climate Change Conference To Be Held In Malta
Minister Dalli noted that the Mediterranean, including Malta, is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. She highlighted the need for regional collaboration, stating that individual efforts alone are insufficient.
She also underlined the importance of EU Mediterranean countries working together to secure targeted funding and advance shared priorities.
The September conference, organised in collaboration with the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), aims to provide a platform for open dialogue on regional climate challenges and potential solutions.
It is expected to contribute to the development of adaptable climate strategies that reflect the specific environmental and socio-economic conditions of the Mediterranean region.
