From awareness to informed participation, this CMCC co-organized side event at COP31 will focus on how climate narratives influence public understanding and participation, bringing together communicators, researchers, youth practitioners, legal experts, and policymakers.

How can we meet the growing challenge of energy demand of data centers and how can we ensure that their benefits are credibly verified? A CMCC co-organized side event at COP31 will explore possible solutions and impact assessments.

At the Cryosphere Pavilion at COP31, overshoot is at the centre of the discussion: discover what’s new on research about risk assessment and adaptation tailored to Alpine and coastal regions, and new insights on inequalities and vulnerabilities posed by climate overshoot with CMCC perspective.

Science gathers around new critical questions about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC): the side event at the Cryosphere Pavilion at COP31 will present latest news and development from the ongoing AMOC in Focus initiative, with CMCC contribution.

How can pilot projects in urban areas be transformed into long-term, structural investments that support climate mitigation and adaptation? A COP31 side event will explore innovative governance and financing mechanisms that can ensure the continuity and scalability of local climate action in the face of rapid urbanisation.

Exploring two complementary perspectives, a CMCC co-organised side event at COP31 will discuss how cultural heritage can contribute to climate action, from decarbonising and improving the environmental performance of built heritage to the role of artistic and architectural research.

Bringing experts together to explore how coastal climate risks can be addressed through coordinated, finance-ready adaptation and a just energy transition in the Global South: this is the focus of the CMCC co-organized side event at COP31.

Discover the side event, part of CMCC’s contributions to COP31, which will bring together practical experience in local adaptation finance to explore how proven approaches can be scaled up and translated into a pipeline of bankable investments for climate resilience.

Join Elizabeth Robinson, London School of Economics, to explore how behavioural shifts, technological innovation, individual and systemic change can accelerate emissions reductions across the agri-food sector.
