The publication explores how Mediterranean countries can strengthen collective resilience to growing climate and disaster risks. The study stresses regional coordination, inclusive disaster management, and technological innovation as core strategies. It reviews existing frameworks such as the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) and the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), proposing ways to expand cooperation between northern and southern shores. It also emphasizes the role of early warning systems, data-driven risk assessment, and community participation to address social inequalities that shape vulnerability across the region.

Chapter by Agnieszka Maj, Economist at CASE: “Inclusive Pathways to Disaster Resilience in the Mediterranean: Toward a New Space of Stability for All”

Agnieszka Maj’s chapter focuses on equity and inclusion as foundations for building resilience. She shows how climate and disaster risks intersect with gender, poverty, displacement, and social exclusion. Her analysis argues that resilience must go beyond infrastructure and technology to include fair access to resources, participation, and protection. The chapter highlights how refugees, women, and informal workers face higher risks and often lack representation in disaster planning. Maj calls for participatory governance, stronger social protection systems, and community-led initiatives. She frames inclusion not only as a moral principle but as a practical strategy to create shared stability and cooperation across the Mediterranean.
