In the Mediterranean Basin, indicators for progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals  show multiple directions of transformative change . In some sectors, such as energy, there are general positive trends in sustainability , but there also are significant imbalances between northern and southern shores of the basin for most SDGs. Over the coming decades the Mediterranean Basin will likely experience sustained growth in renewable energy investments, accompanied by a shift in regional geographical patterns of energy demand . However, future developmental pathways, solution space and feasible system transformations could be constrained by multiple factors for several SDGs, such as social conflicts, lack of regional governance, limited action capacity and financial constraints .
