Climate Adaptation Diaries

Through this section we share testimonies and experiences of people passionate about protecting our planet!

We call them DesirMED Climate Ambassadors and through this page, they share their perspectives, their vision and actions for bringing real change for climate adaptation and resilience. Whether it's mobilising to plant trees or clean a beach, help communities after a fire or a flood, or even small changes like biking instead of driving... Their stories highlight challenges faced, lessons learned and the impact their actions have had.

Meet DesirMED's Climate Ambassadors!
