The service relies on original, innovative and timely research produced by members of the Consortium to assess the economic repercussions of adaptation actions to the changing frequency and intensity of droughts and floods in Europe –at a local, regional and supra-regional level. End users targeted by the service include public agents, notably regional administrations, environmental agencies and river basin authorities; and business operators, notably insurance companies.

AI-GCM | The AI General Circulation Model

The ability to forecast short-term weather accurately is essential for various sectors, such as agriculture, transportation, and energy, to name a few. In recent years, deep learning (DL) techniques have shown promising results in weather forecasting. Thanks to the availability of new datasets, such as those produced within the MISTRAL (https://www.cineca.it/index.php/news/mistral-portale ) and HIGHLANDER (https://www.cineca.it/index.php/progetti/highlander ) projects, the present project aims to evaluate their potential for the development of accurate forecasts on target region projects by using DL techniques .

ALIENA: ALIgning Efforts to control Non-indigenous species in the Adriatic sea

Non-indigenous species (NIS) pose a significant threat to biodiversity and ecosystems globally, ranking as the second most common cause of species extinctions. Particularly in the Adriatic Sea, a hub for fishing, tourism and maritime traffic, the introduction of NIS has the potential to exacerbate ecological and economic impacts. ALIENA aims at creating a shared knowledge base and collaborative monitoring system to protect biodiversity from NIS in the Adriatic Sea. Through joint monitoring and modeling efforts focused on these species, the project seeks to develop early warning solutions essential for effective marine management, biodiversity conservation, and public health protection. Additionally, it aims to improve shared protocols for NIS detection, monitoring, and management, while also increasing stakeholders’ awareness of NIS issues.

AMAre – Actions for Marine Protected Areas

AMAre specific objective is to improve the management and protection measures in order to maintain the biodiversity and to increase the resilience of networks of MPAs/FRAs for present purposes and future challenges, supporting a sustainable use of the resources.

ANDROMEDA – An EnhaNceD Common InfoRmatiOn Sharing EnvironMent for BordEr CommanD, Control and CoordinAtion Systems

Border surveillance is a complex mission given the length of European borders and the variety of terrain configuration. ANDROMEDA’s aim is to create a political, organizational and legal environment to enable information sharing across the seven relevant sectors/user communities (transport, environmental protection, fisheries control, border control, general law enforcement, customs and defense) based on existing and also on future surveillance systems/networks with a view to achieve a fully operational CISE by 2021.

APOLLON – environmentAl POLLutiOn aNalyzer

The project is aimed at environmental quality monitoring in urban contexts, with particular reference to air, noise pollution and ultraviolet radiation (UV rays), through the implementation and testing of innovative tools and methods.

AQP-2, Assessment of climate risks and vulnerabilities of AQP Water System

Climate change is expected to have significant impacts on the water resources management of Southern Italy, due to the generalized increase in temperatures entailing changes in the seasonality of precipitation and hydro-climatic budget. Also, the possible increase in the frequency of extreme events could have a negative effect on soil erosion and sediment transport, causing a deterioration of surface water quality. On the other hand, sea level rise could negatively affect the salinization rate of coastal aquifers. These phenomena could lead, in a future scenario, to a condition where the availability of freshwater resources (with adequate quality and quantity parameters) could not match anymore the demand for civil, industrial and irrigation purposes. Such a condition could be exacerbated even more by an increase in drinking and agricultural water needs.  In this context, Acquedotto Pugliese S.p.A. has commissioned a study to understand and quantitatively assess the perils induced by climate change on water scarcity-related issues, in order to define an adaptation strategy and implement countermeasures.

AQUA: Enhancing Water Management for Climate Change Resilience in Adriatic-Ionian area

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.

ARCA-ATS- Climate Adaptation Strategy Support for Puglia Region

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).

ARCA: ARtificial intelligence platform to prevent Climate change natural hazArds

Forest monitoring stands as a crucial endeavor for the well-being of our planet and human communities. The project, named ARtificial intelligence platform to prevent Climate change natural hazArds (ARCA), aims to address forest monitoring by developing an innovative system utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI). The primary objective is to create a transnationally applicable platform through pilot initiatives in wooded areas, employing cutting-edge technologies to combat the risks posed by climate change-induced natural hazards. The project relies on advanced algorithms based on Machine Learning (ML) and diverse networks made of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. These technological components work collaboratively to model specific forests and proactively mitigate the impact of natural hazards such as windstorms, drought, and wildfires. The digital platform comprises wireless sensor networks (WSNs), video cameras, drones, and LiDAR remote sensing, all contributing to a comprehensive forest modeling approach.
