The Foundation

CMCC is an international research centre that collaborates with experienced scientists, economists, and technicians who work together to provide full analyses of climate impacts on socio-economic systems.
CMCC also supports policymakers in setting and assessing costs, mitigation, and adaptation policies. Furthermore, the Foundation promotes and carries out basic and applied scientific research and develops operational services with a high content of knowledge and technological innovation in the various fields on which climate change has an impact, favouring collaboration between universities, national and international research bodies, local authorities and manufacturing sectors.

CMCC benefits from the extensive applied research experience of its cofounders institutions: Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e VulcanologiaUniversità degli Studi del SalentoUniversità Ca’ Foscari VeneziaUniversità di SassariUniversità della TusciaPolitecnico di MilanoResources for the FutureUniversità di Bologna.

It is organized in the form of a network connecting universities and research institutes in a strongly interdisciplinary collaboration aimed at developing and promoting knowledge in the field of climate science.
