WE GO COOP has launched a Community of Practice on Mediterranean Wetland Contracts, a collaborative space aimed at strengthening wetland governance across the Mediterranean region.
The Mediterranean Wetland Contract Community of Practice was established in Marseille on November 5th, 2025, and is promoted, in alphabetical order, by: Anatoliki S.A. (Greece); Association Secrétariat MedWet (France); FAMP – Andalusian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (Spain); Public Institution Nature Park Vransko jezero (Croatia); PPNEA – Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment in Albania (Albania); RCDI – Development and Innovation Network (Portugal); and Roma Tre University Department of Architecture (Italy).
The Community of Practice brings together all actors and organizations involved in the implementation of Wetland Contracts at the Mediterranean level to promote networking, exchange of good practices, and capitalization of the results and outputs of past EU-funded projects that tested this governance tool.
Participation in the Community of Practice is open and voluntary and can be formalized by submitting a request through this form to sign the Memorandum of Understanding.
The Mediterranean Community of Practice on Wetland Contracts is established as an informal network, without legal personality and without financial obligations.
The main objectives of the Community of Practice are to:
- network actors and organizations directly involved in, or interested in, the development and application of Wetland Contracts, fostering dialogue, synergies, knowledge sharing and long-term collaboration;
- connect Wetland Contract experiences, sites and territories to exchange methodologies and practical solutions;
- foster the replicability and transferability of the Wetland Contract model to new contexts and sites;
- promote the Wetland Contract as a proactive instrument for biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation, combating desertification, water resilience and broader sustainable development goals;
- relate the Wetland Contract instrument to the wider set of environmental governance tools.
By joining the Community of Practice, members become part of a dynamic Mediterranean network committed to advancing collaborative wetland governance, sharing knowledge and strengthening the impact of Wetland Contracts across the region.
