• What will be the future of the Mediterranean in 2025?
• What will be the future of our cities, our rural areas, our mountains and our coastlines?
• Our modes of transport, our energy supply, our water and land resources?
• Which alternatives to reconcile the environment with development?
• Is it possible to choose a future that takes tomorrow's generations into account and give more chances to the region?

These are the issues covered in this publication, which brings together the contributions of the riparian countries, the European Union, and more than 300 experts of both Mediterranean shores. Including over 400 pages, 250 maps and graphs, and a wealth of case studies, it constitutes a follow-up of the first Plan Bleu report on the Futures of the Mediterranean Basin, published in 1989.
