Mission

Facilitate dialogue between scientists, policy makers, and stakeholders by focusing on territories sharing the same climate emergencies such as the countries of the southern Mediterranean basin and Africa. To this end, defining the geographical scope of action is very important.

Promote the integration of scientific knowledge into climate policies and the consideration of political issues through scientific research. NAPs, NDCs, and climate finance mechanisms including the implementation of the carbon market and the issue of Loss & Damage will constitute a priority for action. This will involve organizing training programs for decision makers and various stakeholders to improve their understanding of scientific concepts related to climate change, and promoting climate policy concerns in research and training programs. Particular attention will also be given to AI technology to improve the effectiveness of public policies in the processes of combating climate change.

Encourage interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration, while working with the scientific community to promote innovative scientific research and the consideration of research results in public policies. Among the strategic and intersectoral axes that will be taken into account by the platform, the one related to Water Energy Food & Ecology (WEFE). Approaches linking mitigation, adaptation to climate change, climate finance and loss & damage will be essential for the work of the SPP-C.

Develop evidence-based recommendations (which could include submissions to COPs, position papers, etc.) based on scientific research results, in order to guide effective strategies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. This will also involve proposing convergence strategies for better coordination of policies relating to climate risk.
