The Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) is an Italian research centre[5] dedicated to climate and climate related research, including climate variability, its causes and consequences,[6] carried out through numerical models ranging from Global Earth System to regional models within the Euro-Mediterranean area.

History

[edit]

The centre was established with initial funding from the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, the Ministry of the Environment and Protection of Land and Sea (MATT), the Ministry of Agricultural and Forestry Policies (MIPAF) and the Ministry of Finance (MEF), within the Strategic Programme "Sustainable development and climate change" of the 2001 Special Integrative Fund for Research (FISR), aimed at funding specific activities with exclusive strategic relevance, pursuant to the 2001–2003 (also extended to 2005–2007) National Research Programme (PNR). As such, the CMCC fulfils the "creation of an international level centre for research on climate change" with focus on the: "development and in-depth examination of knowledge on climate variability: study of causes and consequences through high resolution simulations".

The CMCC started its operations in 2005,[7] but the official opening was put off until the beginning of 2009 to coincide with the "Climate Science in the Mediterranean area" event, which took place in Lecce, on 31 January 2009. On 10 December 2015 the Center became a Foundation therefore representing CMCC's legal status, its contents, aims and operational modalities.

In June 2018 a new partnership with Resources for the Future established the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE), based in Milan.

Organization

[edit]

The CMCC is a foundation with its headquarters in Lecce and local units in Bologna, Venice, Caserta, Sassari, Viterbo and Milan, to exploit the existing expertise of its partners. The Director of CMCC is Dr. Antonio Navarra.[8]

Mission

[edit]

The mission of the CMCC is "to improve our understanding of the nature and mechanisms of climate variability, its causes and its impacts, with a special emphasis on the Mediterranean area" and its interactions with the global climate. Through the capabilities of its members and associate centres, the CMCC delivers scientific-technical products and technical support to ministries, regions and provinces, and the private sector, in fields such as:

  • climate change assessments;
  • the protection of the marine environment of the Mediterranean Sea towards a sustainable use of the resources;
  • ecology, forestry science, health and economy;
  • risk management (natural hazards related to climate, oil spills, coastal eutrophication, water resources, etc.);
  • transportation, agriculture, energy and tourism.

Furthermore, through satellite remote sensing, the CMCC also aims to carry out:

  • monitoring of eco-environmental resources (water, agriculture, forestry);
  • analysis and prevention of the risks due to natural and anthropogenic hazards;
  • monitoring of the energy and transportation networks.

International cooperation is an essential activity of the CMCC, which financially supports several international projects, and participates in European projects and works within bilateral agreements between Italy and other countries. Other than operating research coordination/management of international projects led by Italian Ministries, the CMCC also provides scientific support for several multilateral international activities, including the IPCC, UNCCD, UNEP and UNFCCC.[9]

In 2008–2009 CMCC supported the Italian G8 Presidency with scientific and technical advice, including organization and management of three workshops on climate change related issues. The centre also contributes to knowledge dissemination through specific events (seminars, conferences, congresses or workshops) and educational activities,[10][11] with the preparation, funding and management of training programs (on a post-doctoral level), such as PhD Schools and Summer and Winter schools.

Research Institutes

[edit]

The activities of the CMCC are carried out by and clustered into eight different topical Research units:

  • ODA Ocean modeling and Data Assimilation
  • ECIP Economic analysis of Climate Impacts and Policy Division
  • OPA Ocean Predictions and Applications
  • IAFES Impacts on Agriculture, Forests, and Natural Ecosystems
  • REMHI Regional Models and geo-Hydrological Impacts
  • ASC Advanced Scientific Computing
  • CSP Climate Simulation and Prediction Division
  • SEME Sustainable Earth Modelling Economics

Furthermore, CMCC also hosts the working group of the IPCC National Focal Point for Italy.
