It will critically improve the capability of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) to inform the design and evaluation of climate policies by targeting major advancements in two areas: describing transformative change in the economy, in technology and in consumer goods and services, and describing distributional impacts of climate change and climate policy.
NEMESI – NanotEcnologie chiMiche green per la protEzione Sostenibile delle pIante
The NEMESI project is aimed at the creation of biobased / biomaterial products from renewable (biomass) and recycled sources with a view to fighting the spread of several plant pathogens that have been severely affecting the whole economic and agriculture system in Italy. The intensification of agricultural crops and high market demands have forced the industry to intensify the use of chemicals to limit the effects of plant diseases, which has had a strong impact on the environment, food quality and human health. The proposed material in NEMESI is Nanocellulose, that is supposed to be used as a carrier of innovative agrochemicals based on nanotechnology approaches.
OFIDIA – Operational FIre Danger preventIon plAtform 2
The project is motivated by the challenging problem of preventing and fighting wildfires in the forests and rural areas of Epirus and Apulia. OFIDIA2 primarily capitalizes on the OFIDIA project of the “2007-2013” programme, yet it covers substantially larger areas in terms of patrolling and monitoring in both regions. The maintenance of the natural environment is crucial due to the competitive advantages that it offers to the above regions in terms of biodiversity, tourist attraction, sustainable development and protection from natural catastrophes. OFIDIA2 proposes a pragmatic approach to improve the operational capacity of the stakeholders to detect and fight forest wildfires. It performs “real time” monitoring through sensor data; provides weather forecasts in the two regions; it develops a fire-behavior projection model; it aims at creating a new wildfires control center building in Apulia. The network will offer real-time environmental monitoring to predict the risks of fire development and the necessary adoption of control strategies. With the help of HD video cameras, wireless sensors networks and drones, the stakeholders will effectively patrol high-danger and remotely located areas.

PEERS – Peer Review of the Disaster Risk Management
The objective of PEERS is to implement, over a period of 24 months (2020-2022) a programme of peer reviews targeting a maximum of four countries wishing to have their disaster risk management/civil protection system reviewed. The programme will allow for peer reviews of a country’s civil protection/disaster risk management system and policies and/or specific aspects/issues of civil protection/disaster risk management put forward by the reviewed country (e.g. with focus on particular types of risks and/or certain geographical areas, risk assessment, risk management capability assessments, legislative framework for disaster risk management, prevention and/or preparedness strategies, etc.). The peer review process will also foster policy dialogue, improve coherence and steer progress in critical areas for the EU cooperation on civil protection and disaster risk management.
PRIMAVERA – PRocess-based climate sIMulation: AdVances in high resolution modelling and European climate Risk Assessment
PRIMAVERA draws on key scientific and technological advances in four cross-disciplinary areas: i) seamless weather and climate; ii) process-based assessment; iii) high-performance computing (HPC); iv) IT, networks and post-processing capacity for large datasets. Optimally combining these advances is a huge challenge and has never been attempted before. PRIMAVERA will, for the first time ever, make highly coordinated use of European high-resolution GCMs to provide trustworthy projections up to 2050.

SOCLIMPACT – DownScaling CLImate imPACTs and decarbonisation pathways in EU islands, and enhancing socioeconomic and non-market evaluation of Climate Change for Europe, for 2050 and beyond
The SOCLIMPACT consortium involves 24 partners, many of them coming from 12 European islands and archipelagos: European Small States Islands: Cyprus and Malta; European islands: Baltic Islands, Balearic Islands, Siciliy, Sardinia, Corsica, Crete; European Outermost Regions: Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands and French West Indies. They all have different key competences, including the study of climate change impacts, climate and economic modelling, social sciences, marine biodiversity, climate policies and the islands and of the outermost European regions. From Climate Change projections to the design of adaptation options, SOCLIMPACT repasses the Impact-Vulnerability-Adaptation chains, improving the modelling tools, developing the interrelations between steps, adapting this framework to the case of islands, and improving its transfer to decision makers.
