The third edition of Circle the Med Forum 2022 took place in Zappeion historic building in Athens, Greece, and
had an immense success, gathering over 3600 delegates, 400 at the venue and 3,200 online, from 60 countries
from all over the world. 3 Prime Ministers, 14 Ministers and Alternate Ministers, Members of the European
Parliament and representatives of prominent organizations attended. Circle the Med Forum was honored by the
presence of the Ambassador of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Mr. Omar Amer Youssef (hosting country of COP27),
and the Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates Mr. Sulaiman Humad Salem Al Mazroui who marked the start
of the cooperation of the Circle the Med Forum with the UAE, in view of the organization of COP 28 in Dubai.

Circle the Med is now well established, as an institution and a sounding board, as a network of key players in the
region, as a climate, environmental and energy, but also cultural diplomacy forum. It is the circular economy
network par excellence and the forum within which best practices are developed, capacity and institutional
building initiatives and synergies are initiated, and bridges between the north and the south shore of the
Mediterranean are built.
