In collaboration with the Mohammed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection (FM6E) of Morocco, IUCN-Med launched in 2012 a distance learning platform for reinforcing the capacity of young media professionals in North Africa (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia). E-learning plataform.
IUCN-Med backed the celebration of World Environment Day June 5, 2012 and 2013 with a programme of activities to raise awareness among young people about the need to protect our environment, an initiative developed jointly with the city of Malaga and the UNESCO Chair in Communication from the University of Málaga.
In addition to the distribution of major works published by the Centre amongst Members and partners and at conferences and forums related to the conservation of the Mediterranean, IUCN-Med organized in 2013 a public presentation of nine of their publications together with the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development (AECID) in Madrid.
The involvement of the staff of the IUCN Secretariat in relevant events has also helped let the Centre and its work be better known, always in collaboration with leading institutions in the Mediterranean area and the partners and collaborators who actively contribute to the achievement of common objectives in the field of conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources in the region.
IUCN-Med brought together for a week in Tunisia several meetings related to three projects of different nature. MedEvenTun has helped consolidate the existing collaboration with IUCN Members in Tunisia and identify new initiatives and partnerships to work with in the future, particularly in the context of the implementation of the new IUCN North Africa Programme 2013-2016.
The press monitoring report provided by Augure on IUCN´s presence in digital media records 6873 articles published on IUCN in 2012, mainly in the Spanish press, while in 2013 IUCN mentions increased to 10304
