Cagliari, Interreg NEXT MED program: new call for funding cooperation projects.

Cagliari, May 30, 2024 - The Interreg NEXT MED programme, of which the Sardinia Region is the Managing Authority, intends to launch a new call for funding cooperation projects in the second half of 2024.. Of the value of 80 million euros, this call will be dedicated to supporting collaborative initiatives to accelerate the ecological transition in the Mediterranean region, addressing environmental and climate challenges through innovative and sustainable solutions.

In order to collect useful contributions for the definition of the thematic priorities of the call, the Managing Authority invites all interested parties to participate in an online consultation. The survey, available in English and French, can be accessed via the official website of Interreg NEXT MED programme and will remain open until June 12, 2024.

La Mediterranean region is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, warming faster than the global average. This phenomenon leads to a series of negative consequences, including increased heat waves, pressure on water resources, coastal erosion or loss of biodiversity. These impacts threaten not only the environment, but also the socio-economic stability of local communities.

"Through the new tender – comments President Todde – Interreg NEXT MED aims to create a cooperation platform between entities on the two shores of the Mediterranean, promoting effective and multidisciplinary approaches in key sectors such as energy efficiency, the transition towards a circular economy, the prevention of natural disasters or the management sustainable water".
