 6 Opportunities For Mediterranean Policy in the Post-COVID19 EraEver since the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the usual flow of our lives, this crisis has been proving to the global society that we are capable of doing things differently. In these times of uncertainty, IUCN stands in solidarity with all those directly affected by the virus around the world. Nonetheless, we need a vision for a better future, where fresh air, clean water and a safe environment are a right for people everywhere. Working with, rather against nature can boost our resilience and solidarity. And yet, what is the ‘greenprint’ for a better future in the Mediterranean?

Dear friends of IUCN-Med, During these days of uncertainty, we want to inform you that our team remains fully operational and at your disposal. On a global scale, IUCN has established the necessary measures to ensure the health of all staff and to promote working from home. We will keep working to reach our goals and will ensure you are updated on any changes in events and meetings which are currently scheduled. We hope that together we can all work to solve this situation as soon as possible, and that the environment of our Mediterranean region will benefit from this unprecedented mandatory break. Take care of yourselves. Warm regards, The IUCN-Med Team |  |
