The AQUA project, aimed at enhancing resilience to climate change in the Adriatic-Ionian region, has the goal of reaching significant strides in addressing the common challenge of water management in the face of a changing climate. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events have led to significant shifts in water availability, quality, and distribution. These challenges transcend borders and require collaborative efforts to ensure effective solutions. The AQUA project has set its sights on the overall objective of enhancing resilience to climate change of water utility companies in the Adriatic-Ionian area. By developing an joint action plan and strategy and user-tailored tools, the project aims to improve water resource management, increase capacities for climate change adaptation, and mitigate the impact of natural and man-made disasters. By adopting an integrated approach that considers both droughts and floods and the interconnections between water quantity and quality, the project aims to provide holistic solutions. The project also prioritizes data-driven solutions, co-design, and co-development, ensuring that the outputs are tailored to the specific needs of the participating regions.

Technical and Scientific Support for the Development of Puglia’s Regional Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Science-based data and tools to support climate-resilient decisions in Puglia, down to the municipal scale. The collaboration between Fondazione Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici (CMCC) and Regione Puglia aims to develop the Regional Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (SRACC), a strategic framework to enhance territorial resilience against climate impacts. The partnership follows Puglia’s commitment as Territorial Coordinator of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy and builds upon regional policy efforts, including the Regional Sustainable Development Strategy (DGR 1670/2023) and preliminary adaptation guidelines (DGR 162/2024). The project integrates scientific rigor with participatory co-design, ensuring the strategy addresses local risks and vulnerabilities while aligning with national (PNACC) and European frameworks (EU Taxonomy, DNSH principle).

ARCADIA is a project funded by HORIZON Europe Innovation Actions in response to the call “Testing and demonstrating transformative solutions on climate resilience, mainstreaming nature based solutions in the systemic transformation”. The main goal of ARCADIA project is to mobilise 8 European regions and communities – from Italy, Croatia, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovenia – to accelerate nature-based solutions (NBS) adoption and assist them in accessing up-to-date, evidence-based actionable knowledge, guidance, knowledge-intense tools and services, mutual learning and networking opportunities.

ARTACLIM is a cross-border research-action project with the main objective to integrate measures of adaptations to climate change in​​ territorial programming and planning of local administrations. In the framework of ARTACLIM project, CMCC consultancy, supported by ISIRES S.r.l., concerns the elaboration of a vulnerability study of the ZOP territory on climate change.

The project establishes a partnership between Fondazione CMCC and CAP Group, managing the Integrated Water Service (IWS) of the Metropolitan City of Milan, to support water resource management in a climate change context and identify adaptation strategies. The project is based on a co-design approach between CMCC and CAP, which is a key element in ensuring effective and adaptable solutions to the challenges posed by climate change on IWS. The co-design process allows for the development of innovative tools, based on advanced climate data and real operational needs, to enhance the resilience and sustainability of the metropolitan water system. This collaborative approach ensures that adaptation strategies are both scientifically grounded and practically implementable, effectively addressing the risks and vulnerabilities of the asset.

Nel quadro degli impatti legati ai cambiamenti climatici, la gestione delle riserve idriche è fondamentale per affrontare e mitigare fenomeni estremi che determinano una sovrabbondanza o scarsità di acqua, con impatti sui sistemi produttivi locali, sul benessere dei cittadini e sulla gestione del territorio. Per affrontare questa sfida, il progetto BePrePAred mira a coordinare e integrare strumenti, sistemi e politiche di gestione del rischio volti a migliorare la resilienza degli ecosistemi e dei paesaggi vulnerabili, storicamente gestiti dall’uomo, su entrambe le sponde del Mare Adriatico, con particolare attenzione alla gestione delle acque. Si tratta di creare nuove competenze e pratiche per una governance dell’acqua basata sugli ecosistemi, trasferendo strumenti e politiche nelle aree target presenti in Italia e Croazia, adattandoli a un uso sostenibile delle risorse idriche nei paesaggi rurali-urbani, sensibilizzando le istituzioni e la società civile sui rischi legati alla scarsità idrica e sulla necessità di politiche di risparmio e gestione della risorsa acqua.

BlueGreen Governance is a project funded by HORIZON Europe Research and Innovation Actions in response to the call “Innovative governance, environmental observations and digital solutions in support of the Green Deal”. The project pursues an innovative approach to the governance of the seas and coastal areas that links marine policies with the management of the land and waters impacting on sea basins. More precisely, BlueGreen Governance will develop evidence-based pathways for the design and implementation of innovative governance schemes around the land-sea connection that incorporates both the scientific predictions of future developments (about the biodiversity-water-climate nexus) and societal views on the most viable policy responses.

BoMet-CLIM is a project funded by the Fondazione del Monte di Bologna e Ravenna, through which CMCC provides scientific and technical support to the Strategic Metropolitan Plan (PSM) of Bologna, with a specific focus on Mission 5 “Climate and Territory” and the broader objective of integrating climate change considerations across the Plan. The project combines a quantitative climate hazard assessment, based on the analysis of selected climate indicators for the metropolitan area, with an analysis of vulnerability and exposure developed through the review of relevant local documents and a targeted questionnaire aimed at capturing the perspectives of mayors and other relevant metropolitan stakeholders. These elements will feed into a semi-quantitative climate risk assessment aimed at identifying priorities, coherence gaps and enabling conditions for implementation. The project will support the drafting of Mission 5 as a high-level strategic guidance document, providing an evidence-based framework to orient future work towards a metropolitan Climate Plan. In this context, the project will also offer initial recommendations on the governance arrangements needed to support future adaptation planning and implementation.

La frequenza e l’intensità degli estremi climatici e meteorologici associati al cambiamento climatico antropogenico stanno aumentando e ci porranno delle sfide relative alle strategie di adattamento a livello locale. Il progetto “Percorsi di Sviluppo Resiliente al Clima nelle Regioni Metropolitane d’Europa (CARMINE)” collega la scale locale e regionale fornendo servizi decisionali basati sugli impatti e governance climatiche multilivello che supportano l’adattamento locale, inclusi sia approcci NBs. L’obiettivo generale di CARMINE è aiutare le comunità metropolitane d’Europa a diventare più resilienti al clima, mediante la co-produzione di strumenti basati sulla conoscenza, strategie e piani per azioni di adattamento e mitigazione migliorate, in linea con la Carta della Missione dell’UE sull’Adattamento al Cambiamento Climatico entro il 2030. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, focalizzandosi sul periodo 2030-2035 e con prospettive più lunghe fino al 2050, CARMINE propone un approccio interdisciplinare mirante a (1) co-creare e co-sviluppare servizi decisionali e linee guida per una resilienza e capacità di adattamento migliorate, inclusi sistemi di allerta precoce e gestione del rischio da disastri; (2) collaborare strettamente con comunità locali e regionali (stakeholder e utenti), decisori e policy-maker (autorità locali) per co-sviluppare quadri trasversali per azioni di adattamento e mitigazione; (3) fornire roadmap R&I basate sulla scienza per la governance climatica multilivello a supporto di valutazioni e piani di adattamento locali. La metodologia di CARMINE sarà implementata in otto Aree Studio selezionate per dimostrare la prova di concetto e la metodologia del progetto attraverso la replicazione digitale delle caratteristiche climatiche e socio-economiche di ciascuna area.
