Since 2001, ϲʿֱֳ-Med is applying a unique approach which bridges between science, policy, management, and action to conserve nature and accelerate the transition to sustainable development.

"Our Approach"was created in order to maintain its value proposition among national and international organisations supporting the advancement of nature and people while establishing areas ofSpecial Focusthat highlight the programmes and activities in the region.

ϲʿֱֳ-Med addresses the goals in its approach by focusing on different sectors of special focus that are broken down between topics and a regional focus.
