About

Climateservices.it

The climate is a central issue in several research areas and our everyday life, due also to the urgency of actions across society that climate change requires.

The purpose of CLIMATESERVICE.IT initiative is to provide services and solutions to give scientific answers to the need of information of users.

The importance
of climate services

The awareness of the consequences of climate change including the economic and social impacts are undoubtedly growing. The economic impact is high and it could be reduced adopting a proactive approach, as it is better to prepare than to react to such events. In 2009, the World Climate Conference-3 unanimously decided to establish a Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), a UN-led initiative spearheaded by WMO to guide the development and application of science-based climate information and services in support of decision-making in climate-sensitive sectors. Thirteen heads of state or government, 81 ministers and 2.500 scientists unanimously agreed to develop the GFCS. From this perspective, the WMO (World Meteorological Organization) urges for the implementation of Climate Services that respond specifically to different needs, and provide climate information in a way that assists decision making by individuals and organizations.

The Scientific
Research

Over the last twenty years, scientific research has produced many and excellent results both in the field of forecasts at different temporal and spatial scales, and by investigating the extent to which human activities have consequences for climate change.
A large part of the scientific literature, and not, emphasises the benefits of a virtuous synergy between producers and consumers of climate information. However, this synergy requires new tools to benefit from the potential of this greater awareness.

Solutions are crucial

Tools for decision making // mitigate risks

The commitment
of Science

Solutions are required to facilitate the utilisation of data and scientific knowledge. These solutions can aid in the development of tools that support the decision-making process and enhance the capacity of institutions and society to mitigate risks and improve their adaptation to climate change.

Our
Work

CLIMATE SERVICES.IT serves as a hub for collecting the primary climate services, tools, and solutions developed by CNR-IBE in alignment with its institutional mission.
CLIMATESERVICES.IT is an initiative aimed at sharing and disseminating scientific expertise to a broader user base, providing direct access to climate research services, applications, solutions, and results.

CNR-IBE Climate Services Initiative has been designed to fulfil the information and analysis requirements of specific users. The approach underlying this initiative is to organise these services and make them accessible to a wider range of users.
