RESisles: Resilient Euro-Mediterranean Islands: Democratic Participation for Informed and Responsible Decisions on Climate and the Environment

Euro-Mediterranean islands face economic and social challenges that are related to limited land resources, limited diversification in economic activities, and reduced inhabitant mobility. They are also particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and environmental degradation. The EU-funded project RESisles ‘Resilient Euro-Mediterranean Islands: Democratic Participation for Informed and Responsible Decisions on Climate and the Environment’ (Grant Agreement No. 101146782) aimed to promote and facilitate civic participation on the islands of Cyprus, Malta and Crete, three of the most populated and vulnerable Mediterranean islands, in democratic processes concerning climate change and the environment. The project involved a diverse range of citizens from different backgrounds and genders, with a focus on vulnerable groups to climate change: youth, women, and those in rural or remote areas.
