This report focuses on the Mediterranean community of the CoM (CoM Med) and on the key role local authorities in this region can play in supporting international and EU's climate objectives. It summarises the findings from the assessment of 73 Sustainable Energy Access and Climate Action Plans developed by cities across 7 countries between 2021 and 2023. Key findings show that the CoM Med community continues to grow, despite persistent local challenges, and to progress in terms of expertise and commitment of local authorities on three pillars of action – GHG emission mitigation, climate change adaptation and energy access. Overall, commitments by cities in this region are in line with the national objectives, as expressed in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and they are supported by consistent actions, addressing major emitting sectors and key vulnerabilities. Aggregate emission reduction that CoM Med cities plan to achieve by 2030 is 4.5 Mt CO2-eq , mostly associated with the building and waste management sectors. As for adaptation, extreme heat and drought clearly emerge as the most relevant hazards in the region, affecting vulnerable sectors such as water, energy and health.
