About Climaprespa

This website aims to inform locals, visitors and professionals about the impacts of climate change in the Prespa region. Its goal is to promote awareness and foster acceptance of climate change and encourage the development of effective adaptation measures.

Climaprespa was developed as part of the project “Prespa’s Green and Blue LifeLines”, implemented by the Society for the Protection of Prespa (SPP).

The project benefits from the support of the Donors’ Initiative for Mediterranean Freshwater Ecosystems (DIMFE), and is co-funded by the Prespa Ohrid Nature Trust (PONT).

Climate change research and information is provided by the CLIMADAPT research group of the National Observatory of Athens (Greece).
