The aim is to streamline the planning and implementation of adaptation and mitigation measures against the impacts of climate change (CC). This article presents a comparative analysis of TCPs in four Mediterranean regions exacerbated by CC, including Marseille, Andalusia, Tangier, and Tunis. Key performance indicators (KPIs), as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies extracted from national reports and other official sources, were the focus of this comparison. The comparison of KPIs revealed that 78% of GHG emissions came from European regions. In terms of carbon sequestration, European regions also outperformed. In terms of the energy transition, the share of renewable energies (RE) in the energy mix is highest in Andalusia, with 39%, followed by Tangiers, Marseille, and Tunis, with 36, 4, and 3%, respectively. An analysis of measures and initiatives (M&I) shows a shared focus on promoting renewable energies and energy efficiency in the building and industry sectors via tax incentives. For adaptation, regions focus on ecosystem restoration and coastal resilience. In conclusion, even if TCP alignment is strengthened, significant imbalances persist in GHG emissions. As such, this document is intended as an essential and valuable guide for decision-makers in drawing up and implementing their local climate plans. Focusing on KPIs as a guide to assessment could lead to effective management of local climate issues. On the other hand, the strategic integration of fiscal incentives would promote local energy transition. Nature-based solutions could also emerge as crucial strategies for mitigating climate change and promoting the preservation of ecosystems. Moreover, mutual learning between regions could emerge as an effective strategy for strengthening measures and initiatives to combat climate challenges.}, title={Enhancing climate resilience: comparative analysis of territorial strategies in Tangier, Andalusia, Tunis, and Marseille}, type={Article}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/134752/PDF-MASTER/07-07-EPJ-00380-2024-03-Mouhat%20i%20in.pdf}, keywords={Territorial Climate Plans (TCPs), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), tax incentives, coastal resilience, ecosystem restoration}, }
