2016 has seen decisive steps on the strengthening of the UfM regional cooperation framework on energy and climate action with the launch, at this year’s COP22, of major initiatives that help achieve the Paris Agreement targets in our region and the endorsement at the UfM Ministerial Meeting on Energy of the three UfM energy platforms, which will be playing a central role in taking energy cooperation in the Mediterranean forward.
