CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici

Earth System Models are the main tools scientists use to study and improve our understanding of the climate system and project #climatechange.  However, even the best models still exhibit uncertainties in their projections. New research led by CMCC, in collaboration with Columbia University, UC Irvine, and Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) e.V. German Aerospace Center - German Aerospace Center (DLR), introduces a novel method that reduces uncertainties in near-surface air temperature projections by up to 54% compared to state-of-the-art approaches, making predictions more precise and reliable. This can help provide better guidance for governments and communities in planning effective adaptation and mitigation strategies to meet the challenges posed by climate change.

"Comunità che si adattano" 📅 12 Aprile 2025, ore 14:30 📌 Roma, Auditorium Parco della Musica La Fondazione CMCC è partner scientifico del Festival delle Scienze di Roma, con una serie di incontri su ambiente e clima. Il primo appuntamento è lunedì 12 aprile, con: - Francesca Giordano, ricercatrice ISPRA - Paola Mercogliano, ricercatrice senior Fondazione CMCC - Filomena Pietrapertosa, ricercatrice senior CNR – IMAA La crisi climatica richiede un forte impegno comune per fronteggiare gli eventi meteorologici estremi che sempre più frequentemente colpiscono le nostre città, minacciando la società, gli ecosistemi e l’economia. Parola d’ordine per le città è adattarsi. Il mondo della ricerca è impegnato a supportare e sviluppare strategie per rendere le nostre aree urbane resilienti, capaci di affrontare le minacce causate dal cambiamento climatico, come precipitazioni intense e ondate di calore, anche attraverso il coinvolgimento attivo di cittadini e cittadine.

#reminder | Join us tomorrow for a new event of the #CMCCTalks series ⤵️ "Global Harms, Local Profits: How the Uneven Costs of Natural Disasters Affect Support for Green Political Platforms" 📅 10 April 2025, 12:00 CEST 🎙️ With Silvia Pianta and Cristina Cattaneo, CMCC Extreme events are becoming increasingly common due to climate change. While conventional wisdom suggests that firsthand experiences with natural disasters foster green coalitions by raising awareness of environmental degradation, we propose an alternative view: natural disasters can heighten the perceived trade-off between economic development and environmental policies. This study examines the case of Brazil, where large-scale fires, by clearing natural vegetation, create new opportunities for land grabbing and the expansion of agriculture and livestock production. Using satellite, administrative, and electoral data, we show that large-scale fires increase support for green candidates only in municipalities unlikely to gain economically from the fires. Survey data further indicates that voters prioritize environmental protection over economic growth only when they stand to receive limited or no benefit from the newly cleared land. Our findings suggest that the potential for natural disasters to foster green coalitions is contingent upon their distributive effects. Register to attend: https://ow.ly/pzYy50VpAHS

The interaction between humans and the natural environment is key to understanding both our impact on the planet and how a changing climate will shape our lives and economic activities. Science and innovation play a crucial role in this process, helping to build resilience and strengthen early warning systems. From forecasting El Niño months in advance to anticipating cyclones and streamflow extremes, artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we understand and respond to climate risks. In this #CMCCupdates issue, we dive into cutting-edge research and projects where CMCC scientists are using AI to close the gap between knowledge and action — transforming early warning systems, enhancing climate resilience, and ultimately strengthening the link between science, society, and the natural world. ⤵️ #AI #artificialintelligence #climatescience #climateresearch #climateforecast #climaterisks #climateresilience #resilience #extremeevents #CYCLOPS #CLINT #MEDEWSA Marie-Lou Bachelery Leone Cavicchia Antonello Squintu Italo Epicoco CLINT - Climate Intelligence MedEWSa project

"Disinformation and Climate Adaptation" 🌐 Adaptation AGORA webinar 📅 23 April 2025, h. 16:40-18:10 The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report highlights the harmful impact of #disinformation on #climateaction, stating that “disinformation resulting in public misperception of climate risks is delaying urgent adaptation planning and implementation.” Addressing climate disinformation is crucial to empowering people of all generations to take meaningful action on adaptation. In this context, the Adaptation AGORA project is co-organizing an online webinar in collaboration with TU Environmental Initiative (TUUWI). During the webinar, Paula Gori from European Digital Media Observatory will introduce the topic, laying the foundation for a discussion on how disinformation shapes public perception and understanding of climate change. The event will bring together students from universities in Sweden and Germany, offering them the opportunity to explore the Adaptation AGORA projectand discover its innovative tools, designed to engage citizens in an educational and interactive way.
