Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity, and effective action depends on high-quality information on greenhouse gas sources and sinks. Such information must be usable, accessible, effective and interoperable, so that governments, citizens, businesses and civil society can make informed decisions in response to the climate crisis. The JOHN project — Joint Operations for monitoring antHropogenic and Natural GHG emissions and sinks — supports this need by strengthening the value chains that connect observations, data synthesis, analysis and reporting. Today, global knowledge of climate-controlling greenhouse gas cycles relies on a complex network of local, national and continental programmes, including those contributing to the Global Carbon Project. Although these systems provide authoritative annual information on the global carbon cycle, some of their underlying value chains are fragile or declining in quality. JOHN will contribute to the transformation of these systems, also in view of the WMO Global Greenhouse Gas Watch. The project will audit the current observing system, including governance and financial arrangements, identify barriers to improved performance, scan emerging technologies that can reduce costs, deliver practical improvements to existing value chains, and develop action plans for long-term transformation aligned with future funding opportunities.

Recognizing the central role played by snow, ice and permafrost in the global climate system, the LIQUIDICE project joins expert cryospheric observers and modelers to: i) comprehensively re-assess the past and future century-plus of climate-induced high impact changes to the Greenland ice sheet and climate vulnerable locations across the Alps, Norway, High Mountain Asia (HMA) and Svalbard, including permafrost areas and their ecosystems; ii) develop new, expanded and harmonized data from satellite Earth Observation (EO) and ground stations; iii) use these data to improve and test a hierarchy of ice sheet and glacier models with Earth System Models (ESMs); iv) through these steps, yield new process understanding, and ultimately v) inform water resource, hydropower, and socio-economic strategies through clear and transparent communication of results and uncertainties. The project’s strengths lie in new multidisciplinary collaborations across 18 research institutions, from eight European countries (Poland, Italy, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom) and India, encompassing expertise in field observations, satellite EO techniques, ESM development and application, and socio-economic analysis. Key deliverables include a) FAIR-principled new multi-decade data catalogues of multi-regional snow water equivalent and a 44-year EO-derived albedo record; b) assessments of impact of model resolution and degree of coupling on results; c) refined past and future glacier, ice cap and Greenland ice sheet freshwater fluxes to oceans and global sea level rise with indirect constraint on Antarctica; d) new hydrological simulations for HMA; e) a new framework for a Water Discharge Impact Assessments; f) socio-economic integrated risk and adaptation assessments;

The increase in the frequency of critical meteorological events, observed in recent years in our country, calls for an expanding research effort to support the enhancement of resilience in the Italian national electrical system. In this context, it becomes imperative to identify high-risk areas, where network infrastructures are particularly exposed to such events. This analysis serves as a foundation for implementing targeted interventions aimed at preventing and reducing the risks of power interruptions. To achieve this goal, climatic data will be evaluated with a convection-permitting resolution, recently made available by the CMCC Foundation for Italy. Additionally, post-processing methods will be developed to make this information usable in Terna’s decision-making systems, further optimizing their effectiveness

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

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.
