Abstract

Is green growth an option for tackling the challenge of climate change in the Mediterranean? The chapter investigates this question in two main steps. First, climate change is analysed in a perspective of fear and in a perspective of con fi dence. Against this background, the most likely but undesirable climate related future for the Mediterranean is outlined. This is contrasted with the opportunity for green growth in the Mediterranean. Particular win-win strategies for the Mediterranean are renewable energies and afforestation.
