CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPACT RESEARCH : THE MEDITERRANEAN ENVIRONMENT

Funded by : European Commission, FP6, Global Change and Ecosystem

Duration : 4 years - from: 01/04/2007 to: 31/03/2011

CMCC scientific leader :
Antonio Navarra - antonio.navarraªcmcc.it
Lorella Reda (project manager) - redaªbo.ingv.it

General Objectives :

  • to predict and to quantify physical impacts of climate changes in the Mediterranean area;

  • to evaluate the consequences of climate changes for the society and the economy of the populations located in the Mediterranean area;
  • to develop an integrated approach to understand combined effects of climate change;
  • to identify adaptation and mitigation strategies in collaboration with regional stakeholders.

 

CMCC role :

The complexity of an integrated project requires considerable attention to the management structure and CMCC, entitled for the project management, devotes fulltime human resources focused on monitoring the progress of the activities, the timely preparation of the reports, the coordination among all partners as well as among the 13 scientific research lines and the regular communication with the Commission about the project development.
