The Mediterranean is one of the most climate vulnerable regions in the world, with temperatures rising 20% faster than the global average. In the Balearic Islands, this means that by 2100 the temperature could have increased by 3-5ºC and the sea level could have risen by 37 to 90cm.

The islands’ limited access to resources and the high dependence onemissions-heavy industries, such as transport and energy, are deeply interlinked with over-tourism. This makes any kind of move towards a green transition especially hard.
