ORIENTGATE – A structured network for integration of climate knowledge into policy and territorial planning

This project will build a bridge between the science community where most of the climate-information is generated and the stakeholders community that has to introduce these data in the decision making process and policy.

General aims

Foster concerted and coordinated climate adaptation actions across the SEE region.

Convey the up-to-date climate knowledge to policy makers who may best benefit from it, that is urban planers, nature protection authorities, regional and local development agencies, territorial and public works authorities.


CMCC Role

As lead partner of the ORIENTGATE project CMCC is responsible for the coordination of all the partners and the identification of their role within the project. CMCC will provide the project vision, direction and representation.
Furthermore CMCC activities are intrinsically related to the project objectives and it will involve its six research Divisions: Numerical Applications and Scenarios (ANS); Climate Impacts and Policies (CIP); Impact on Soil and Coast (ISC); Impacts on Agriculture, Forest, and Natural Ecosystems (IAFENT); Scientific Computing and Operations (SCO), Climate Services (SERC). Each division deals with a specific area of interest, pursues
defined objectives and aims to present detailed guidelines about possible strategies for a sustainable management of the effects of climate change. CMCC will thus bring into the project the expertise of all its research divisions.


Expected results

The principal project results include six pilot studies of specific climate adaptation exercises, a data platform connected to the EU Clearinghouse on Climate Adaptation, capacity enhancing seminars and workshops, working partnership among the hydro-meteorological offices of the SEE countries.
