In 2024, BeMed will support 14 local initiatives aimed at raising awareness and reducing plastic pollution in the Mediterranean. To strengthen its support for local stakeholders, BeMed is committed to facilitate dialogue as well as creating a dynamic of exchange and sharing within a network of stakeholders committed to a plastic-free Mediterranean Sea.
Numerous scientific studies consider the Mediterranean to be the most polluted sea in the world. Since its creation, BeMed has been committed to supporting efforts to fight plastic pollution, especially through its call for micro-initiatives. To enhance the effectiveness and scope of the projects it supports, BeMed aims to facilitate exchanges of experience and good practice within the network of stakeholders it supports. Since 2015, BeMed has supported 92 projects, representing an investment of €1.3 million.
In 2024, 14 new projects from 9 different countries will join the BeMed network.

Micro-initiatives are financed thanks to the generous support from the Didier et Martine Primat Foundation, the Aether Fund for Future Generations, the Fond Français pour l’Environnement Mondial (FFEM), the Vilebrequin Foundation, and the Sancta Devota Foundation
