Europe and the Mediterranean are facing an unprecedented escalation of water- and climate-related risks<\/strong>: flooding, water shortages, soil salinisation, rising sea levels, and landslides. Heatwaves, which are becoming more frequent and earlier in the year, are warming the sea surface. According to the IPCC, by 2050, 20% of Mediterranean coastal areas could be exposed to frequent marine flooding. Warming could reach +2.2\u00b0C by 2040, or even +3.8\u00b0C locally by 2100. Furthermore, the European Drought Observatory highlights that heatwaves and lack of rainfall are worsening the region\u2019s structural drought. <\/p>

The socio-economic impacts are already being felt: pressure on drinking water supplies in tourist areas, increased restrictions for agriculture, and a high risk of forest fires. Additionally, demographic pressure<\/strong> is intensifying: the Mediterranean population, which was 472 million in 2010, is expected to reach 572 million by 2030, with over 70% living in urban areas, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. <\/p>

In response to these challenges, AVITEM is working alongside local and international partners to strengthen the resilience of territories.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
