The area has been historically conceived as an ‘oikos’ for the Mediterranean people and their activities, characterized by the intensive interaction and bonds among people in the surrounding nations (European, African and Asian), the sharing of common roots and understanding, culture, trade, etc.

The area has a rich human and economic potential, is a globally distinguished biodiversity and cultural hotspot, while it also exhibits a great deal of vulnerability due to the impacts of climate change, land and marine pollution, seismicity, migration, economic stagnation and unemployment, brain drain, etc.
