“It reads like a summary of the year so far: drought in Europe, floods in Pakistan, and a high-pressure system ‘stuck’ in the North Atlantic, disrupting normal weather patterns. And scientists blaming it all on climate change.” It is not a quote from a recent article in The Guardian, but
What are the key outcomes of the COP27? UN Secretary-General Guterres’ own words are very clear about the results of this COP27. “We need all hands on deck for faster, bolder climate action. A window of opportunity remains open, but only a narrow shaft of light remains… We are getting
November 2022 has just started, and the high temperatures of October are just another record-shattering event after a hot and dry summer. Is it good news?
During the summer of 2022, we experienced extreme temperatures and water shortages. A droughty summer affected not only Italy but
In the media, we often hear speakers talking about the “Data Deluge”, “Big Data”, and the “World of Data”. As
On 28 September 2022 took place the webinar “Drought: Climate Change and Water Management” organised by the Italian Embassy in

The awareness of the economic and social impacts of climate change is increasing. A proactive approach can reduce these impacts: it is better to prepare for such events than react. From this perspective, the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) strongly encourages the implementation of Climate Services to meet the needs of the different stakeholders.
Over the last 20 years, scientific research reached excellent results in the forecasts at different temporal and spatial scale. Researchers investigated to what extent human actions have consequences on climate change. Research findings underlines the advantage of the synergy between producers and users of climate information together with the development of operational tools.
The IBE Climate Services have reached different degrees of maturity. Some are already declared operational.
Others are under development or are operational for supporting internal research.
Operational services for decision-makers, stakeholders, and water managers. Monthly Bulletin (Italy), Indices, and Maps.
Web Platform distributing hydrological information. Slapis was developed in the framework of ANADIA 2.0 project.
Agriculture 4.0, interoperable, free, open and collaborative. Supporting agriculture ecosystem to increase its potential.
Turning climate-related information into added value for traditional MEDiterranean Grape, OLive and Durum wheat food systems
Environmental monitoring data sharing (agrometeo, urban climate, indoor, weather, renewable energy) for decision making.
CNR IBE has an acknowledged experience in conceiving, organizing and delivering training on climate disciplines both in presence and online. RTC Italy’s aim is to contribute to the widespread of climate information and knowledge. So to help governments, organizations or individuals to better cope with climate risks.
The RTC Italy training programmes focus on climate change and variability and their effects on natural resources and agriculture, sub-seasonal to seasonal forecast and predictions as a tool for water and agriculture management. In the framework of international projects in African Countries, specific training activities and workshops are set up.

“The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living.”
Shafer, M. (2008).
“Do we, as scientists, need to concern ourselves with whether or how the information is used?”
“It reads like a summary of the year so far: drought in Europe, floods in Pakistan, and a high-pressure system ‘stuck’ in the North Atlantic,
