OCTA worked together with the Conservatoire du littoral – the leading partner in organizing the event, as well as with the Ocean & Climate Platform, Eurosite, the Sea, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas Intergroup of the European Parliament(SEARICA), and the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR) to host an event on adaptation of coastal areas to climate change. The event took place in  Marseille and Hyères from 15 to 17 June in the framework of the of the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

This event aimed to intensify the cooperation between Coastal Agencies and other coastal stakeholders by developing reflections and strategies on adaptation to climate change.

This will take into account OCT-specific input.
