Are you passionate about protecting our planet and promoting climate resilience? DesirMED is looking for 100 individuals with different profiles and backgrounds to share their stories and contribute to make the Mediterranean more climate resilient. Will you be one of them?
What is DesirMED Ambassador and why should you participate?
DesirMED is project funded by the European Union trough HORIZON Europe program. It is set up to help people in the Mediterranean regions adapt to climate change. DesirMED Climate Ambassadors are citizens and professionals from the Mediterranean who are eager to share their everyday experience with climate change and their ideas and actions to adapt to its impact. We would like to help other citizens understand the implications of climate change and the role that each one of us can play.
Your story and experiences can inspire others to take action! Have you thought of a solution to tackle a climate challenge in your area or community? Are you already applying a practice to adapt to climate change? Whether it’s mobilising to plant trees, protect the dunes in your local beach, restore a small wetland, help your community after a fire or a flood, or even make small changes like rainwater harvesting or building a school garden… Your story could highlight challenges you’ve faced, lessons you’ve learned, or the impact your actions have had. Share it among our big DesirMED community!
As an ambassador, you will be supporting our movement for transformative climate adaptation by spreading the word in your community, and you’ll have the opportunity to connect with other Ambassadors and participate in DesirMED’s and other European initiatives around climate action.
