BeMed 2023 awardees !

Due to its semi-enclosed geography and the intensity of human activity it concentrates, the Mediterranean is one of the most plastic-polluted seas in the world. Plastic pollution is one of the major environmental blights of our century. Limiting the use of non-essential plastics is therefore essential to avoid exacerbating an already serious problem.

There are several existing projects in place aiming to reduce plastic pollution all around the Mediterranean basin and it is BeMed’s mission to support these initiatives.  Through its annual call for micro-initiatives, BeMed encourages the sharing of knowledge and strives to facilitate dialogue and create a momentum within the network.

In 2023, 11 new projects in 6 different countries will join this network :

The BeMed network now extends to 15 different countries with a total of 93 projects supported. The yellow dots indicate the location of the organisations supported since 2015 and the blue dots indicate the actions selected in 2023.

BeMed is generously supported by the Didier and Martine Primat Foundation and the Aether Fund of the Foundation for Future Generations for its call for micro-initiatives.

BeMed is hosted by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.
