Green Entrepreneurship in the Mediterranean Region

Green Entrepreneurship in the Mediterranean Region

In the Mediterranean region, shifting to sustainable consumption and production and thus decoupling development from environmental degradation and resource depletion becomes an urgent need due to the pressure that the economic development of the 21 regional countries is exerting on the local environment. This pressure is characterized and affected by water scarcity, population growth and rapid urbanization in coastal areas, growing waste generation, climate change and massive tourism.

SCP/RAC provides technical support with trainings on green entrepreneurship and eco-design in the region. Likewise, the center has developed a specific Training Methodology for Green entrepreneurs. The methodology provides the basis and structure for the development of sustainable business solutions through four innovative learning modules referring to:

  • Introduction to Green Entrepreneurship and Innovation
  • Dynamic Green Business Plan: methodology to undertake green businesses
  • Eco-design and Eco-innovation
  • Financial and advising resources for Green entrepreneurs
