Topics and sessions

The 8th edition of the Med Green Forum comes at a time of great complexity, shaped by three epochal burdens of environmental unsustainability: climate change and its related threats, the scarcity and non-renewability of resources, and the progressive decline of environmental quality and biodiversity.  

To address this complexity, the Med Green Forum 2026 places the force of nature at the heart of the debate, examining how natural resources and renewable energies can guide the transformative path towards climate-neutrality. 

The MGF offers an open and inclusive platform for researchers, practitioners and policy-makers to exchange knowledge, debate strategies and explore innovative strategies and technologies for shaping the Mediterranean cities of tomorrow, where nature-based solutions and renewable energies are not merely technical tools, but catalysts to foster a new alliance between humans and nature.

The forum collects contributions according to the following four main sessions, framing the discourse at the levels of cities, buildings, technologies and materials, and people.
