The CLIM-RUN (Climate Local Information in the Mediterranean region Responding to User Needs) project presents itself in a video while describing the main aims of the project, the participatory process and stakeholders involvement, the climate models and products, and the case studies developed within the project.
More in detail, climate experts from CMCC, ENEA, TEC, Météo-France / CNRM, UEA illustrate the CLIM-RUN climate services protocol, the integrated and bottom-up approach used to involve stakeholders and produce climate products, while making some examples of climate products and models and showing some dissemination activities.

Differently from current approaches, in fact, CLIM-RUN develops a bottom-up protocol directly involving stakeholders early in the process with the aim of identifying well defined needs at the regional to local scale. The improved modeling and downscaling tools are then be used to optimally respond to these specific needs. The protocol is assessed by application to relevant case studies involving interdependent sectors, primarily tourism and energy, and natural hazards (wild fires) for representative target areas (mountainous regions, coastal areas, islands).
CLIM-RUN is thus also intended to provide the seed for the formation of a Mediterranean basin-side climate service network which would eventually converge into a pan-European network. The general time horizon of interest for the project is the future period 2010-2050, a time horizon that encompasses the contributions of both inter-decadal variability and greenhouse-forced climate change.
