Community4Nature (C4N) and Dialogue4Nature (D4N) projects within the Natural Heritage Mission of the Interreg Euro-MED Programme aim to achieve coordination among different levels of knowledge, and development of best practices and policies to approach the challenges of biodiversity protection and climate change mitigation/adaptation..

Indeed, Mediterranean regions share common challenges related to the impact of global change: environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and lack of appropriate governance mechanisms. The current fragmentation of institutional, financial, and political arenas, as well as a lack of coordinated support, can be overcome by identifying past and current opportunities, results and solutions that have been developed through joint cooperation in national, regional, and European projects dealing with climate change mitigation/adaptation and protection of natural resources.
