MAR-CO2: Measurement And Reporting for responsible marine CO2 removal

MAR-CO2 aims to develop fit-for-purpose MRV systems for mCDR, enabling safe, verifiable, and sustainable climate mitigation. The project’s core objective is to co-design, refine, and test MRV tools to quantify carbon removal additionality and durability, and assess ecological risks and co-benefits, along with the governance frameworks needed to ensure transparency, fairness, and public trust. These tools are tested in real-world conditions, moving beyond lab-scale studies to assess feasibility in the context of operational mCDR through industry partnerships. MAR-CO2 integrates interdisciplinary expertise from the fields of oceanography, modelling, ecology, social science, and governance, enabling the investigation of mCDR as a complex and interconnected human-environment system rather than simply a technological one. Advanced observational technology, experimental approaches, and multi-dimensional modelling help build a comprehensive understanding of mCDR and its impacts, and are used to develop a novel Digital Twin platform for simulating mCDR “what if” scenarios. Social perceptions are regularly queried and governance systems stress-tested to ensure MRV tools are socially just and governable. A co-design approach is deeply embedded in the project, with stakeholder mapping, public deliberation, and governance scenario stress-testing ensuring that the MRV systems developed in MAR-CO2 balance scientific rigor, accuracy, and equity with resource efficiency, governability, and transparency. MAR-CO2 contributes to EU climate leadership by supporting the integration of mCDR into climate strategies (e.g., CRCF, EU ETS), aligning with biodiversity protection goals, and advancing the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. By interfacing a team of prominent scientists with diverse public-sector and governance actors, and by using industry-led

MED-IREN: Mediterranean critical Infrastructure Resilience Engineering with Nature based solutions (MED-IREN)

The Med-IREN project is strategically designed to demonstrate actionable solutions for climate-proofing critical infrastructures across the Mediterranean, with a particular focus on enhancing resilience through Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). These solutions will be applied to improve climate risk management and ensure business continuity in the face of extreme climate change. The project will be implemented in five key lighthouse regions across the Mediterranean (Granollers, PACA, Ischia, Tuscany, Egaleo), each addressing a specific, present-day challenge. These regions will align with regional policies, further contributing to the EU’s position as a global leader in climate resilience. Moreover, the project will leverage Dataclime, CMCC’s advanced climate service platform, to provide cutting-edge data and analytics for real-time monitoring and risk assessment, ensuring that the project’s impact is grounded in the most up-to-date scientific evidence and fostering actionable insights for stakeholders


MEDEWSA – Mediterranean and pan-European forecast and Early Warning System against natural hazards

Natural hazards, such as extreme weather events, are exacerbated by climate change. As a result, emergency responses are becoming more protracted, expensive, frequent, and stretching limited available resources. This is especially apparent in rapidly warming regions. MedEWSa addresses these challenges by providing novel solutions to ensure timely, precise, and actionable impact and finance forecasting, and early warning systems (EWS) that support the rapid deployment of first responders to vulnerable areas.


MEDNICE – MED programme Networks for an Innovative Cooperation in Energy efficiency

The INTERREG MED program projects funds both so-called “modular” projects on specific issues and “horizontal” projects that assist and complement modular ones. As a MED Community for Energy Efficiency innovative and shared solutions, the horizontal project MEDNICE will anchor a MED community around energy issues that public organisations face in order to promote modular projects’ results and increase their impact on public policies. The overall objective of MEDNICE is to empower MED projects’ partners through the establishment of a MED community and a joint transnational framework around the issue of fostering energy efficiency in public buildings. By setting up training mechanisms, MEDNICE will contribute to increase the capacity of managers of public buildings to design and implement better energy efficiency practices. MEDNICE will also analyze and summarize Energy Efficiency practices through thematic and policy papers to be promoted and benefit the MED community.


MELTED – MachinE Learning for arcTic ice prEDiction

The Arctic region plays a vital role in the global climate system, it is strongly affected by climate change, and in turn one of its drivers. The Arctic is warming four times faster than the global average, transitioning into an entirely different climate than a few decades ago (Legg, 2021). Satellite data reveal that the September sea ice extent declined by ~13% per decade since 1979 causing major changes in the oceanic heat flux. Changes in the Arctic sea ice impact extreme weather and climate events beyond the Arctic region, favouring extreme Northern Hemisphere winters (Kretschmer et al., 2016) or wetter European summers (Screen, 2013). Arctic changes have a substantial socio-economical relevance (e.g. indigenous communities, shipping and tourism, fisheries), as well as a geopolitical dimension, given possible shipping routes and natural resources exploitation. Understanding the causes of these changes is thus of paramount importance yet substantial gaps still exist. Moreover, numerous studies have demonstrated the limitations of current-generation climate models in accurately representing essential aspects of polar climates, such as Arctic sea ice loss (Wang et al., 2016) or water mass changes (Ilicak et al., 2016).

The project will demonstrate the benefits and challenges of MISSION specifically for three shipping segments, Tramp (bulk and tanker) RoRo, and container ship traffic, connecting ports in the European seas of Spain, Italy, Greece and Lithuania. MISSION’s port call optimisation and end-to-end orchestration of different traffic types will be built on data sharing platforms, with reference to harmonised standards and provide application programming interfaces for interoperability.


MITIGO – Mitigation of natural risks to ensure safety and mobility in mountain areas of Southern Italy

The project intends identifying solutions for the mitigation of geo-hydrological and seismic risks preventing damages for road and facilities in mountain areas affected by landslides and earthquakes, lack of services, limited transports and depopulation. By exploiting an interdisciplinary approach and through a well-balanced partnership including research institutions, companies and public administrations, risk assessment will be extensively carried out and mitigation measures will be designed and implemented. The case study is represented by an inland area in Basilicata Region, between the cities of Potenza and Matera and between the valleys of Basento and Bradano. By investigating such “natural laboratory”, frameworks for risk assessment, management and prevention will be defined while the developed artifacts (monitoring systems, stabilization, data processing, computer platforms) will be realized increasing the competitiveness of the companies connected to the project. In particular, they could capitalize the expertise gained to develop innovative products and services in other territorial contexts, with benefits also on employment.
