SAVE THE DATE - Next SISC Annual Conferece
MedCLIVAR-SISC 2024 Conference
Lecce, 22-27 September 2024
|
The next SISC Annual Conference will be organized in collaboration with MEDCLIVAR Network and will be held in Lecce from 22.27 September 2024. The main topic of the conferences will be "Bridging multiple space and time scale in climate sciences".
The event will be co-organized by the University of Salento, the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) and the Italian Society for Climate Sciences as a joint MedCLIVAR-SISC 2024 Conference
MedCLIVAR-SISC 2024 will develop a multidisciplinary vision of the evolution of the Mediterranean climate with studies on the atmospheric, marine, and terrestrial climate components at time scales ranging from paleo reconstructions to future climate scenarios. The program will include scientific themes such as past climate variability; connections between the Mediterranean and global climate; Mediterranean Sea circulation and sea level; feedbacks on the global climate system; regional responses to greenhouse gases, air pollution, and aerosols, as well as regional impacts of climate change.

"Climate models are magnifying glasses to understand the Climate-Health Nexus" - interview to ALFREDO REDER at COP28 |
CMCC scientist Alfredo Reder – a member of SISC – was at COP28 in Dubai to contribute to the side event “Climate Change and Health, and the Role of Academic Institutions and Future Research Directions”, jointly organized by SISC, the University of Arizona, the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), and the University of California. In this interview, he emphasizes the need for city-focused high-resolution datasets and the lack of complete climate information in many developing countries, urging investments in models and datasets.

Al via il 2° corso per Tecnico Meteorologo di AMPRO |
AMPRO è in procinto di far partire il 13 gennaio 2024 il Secondo Corso per Tecnico Meteorologo (TM).
Visto il successo della precedente edizione, il Corso è stato riproposto con poche modifiche ed è realizzato in collaborazione con la FAV (Fondazione Aldini Valeriani). |
|
|
Il Corso è completamente in streaming è costituito da 34 moduli di tre ore ciascuno. Docenti di alto livello, quali professori universitari e ricercatori illustreranno nelle le loro lezioni tutte le materie richieste dal WMO (Reg.1083/2015) per quanto riguarda la formazione del TM. Patrocinano l'iniziativa 15 società che lavorano in Italia in campo meteorologico. |

| Le Strategie Urbane di Sviluppo Sostenibile in Lombardia: un esempio di applicazione della resilienza climatica
a cura di Arpa Lombardia |
|
|
Le infrastrutture, grigie o verdi, sono caratterizzate da una lunga durata e possono essere esposte per molti anni a un clima in evoluzione: per questo, la programmazione europea in corso di attuazione, attraverso l’introduzione del principio “non arrecare danno significativo (DNSH)” e più nello specifico del concetto di “immunizzazione degli effetti del clima", include nei criteri di valutazione dei progetti anche gli aspetti di resilienza climatica (...) |

New research training group at Leipzig Universtiy on Economics of Connected Natural Commons: Atmosphere and Biodiversity (ECO-N) |
|
|
Leipzig University, Germany, is starting a new research training group on the Economics of Connected Natural Commons: Atmosphere and Biodiversity (ECO-N), funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). ECO-N combines interdisciplinary research on how to sustainably use and conserve natural commons such as biodiverse forests, fertile soils, regional climate, or clean urban air, with a rigorous course programme providing disciplinary and interdisciplinary competencies. A total of approximately 30 early-career researchers and established researchers from economics, meteorology, and biology will collaborate within ECO-N.

| NEW REPORT Emissions Gap Report 2023 UNEP |
As greenhouse gas emissions hit new highs, temperature records tumble and climate impacts intensify, the Emissions Gap Report 2023: Broken Record – Temperatures hit new highs, yet world fails to cut emissions (again) finds that the world is heading for a temperature rise far above the Paris Agreement goals unless countries deliver more than they have promised. The report is the 14th edition in a series that brings together many of the world’s top climate scientists to look at future trends in greenhouse gas emissions and provide potential solutions to the challenge of global warming.

| NEW BOOK Climate Change: Impacts and Adaptation at Regional and Local Scales
Andrew Sturman and Hervé Quénol | Oxford Univerisity Press |

| BOOK Climate Future: Averting and Adapting to Climate Change Robert S. Pindick | Oxford Univerisity Press |
Most people would probably agree on what should be done to avert severe climate change: The world must reduce CO2 emissions as much and as quickly as possible. But we must also ask what will be done. Is it realistic to expect worldwide emissions to fall rapidly enough to prevent severe climate change? And if we conclude it is not realistic, and so higher temperatures and rising sea levels are likely, what should we do? What actions should we take now to reduce the likely impact of climate change?
|
|
|
Whatever climate policies are adopted, there will be a great deal of uncertainty over what will happen as a result. In Climate Future, Robert Pindyck, an authority on the economics of climate change and global catastrophes, explains what we know and what we don't know about the extent of climate change and its impact, why there is so much uncertainty, and what it means for climate policy. This book shows that given the economic and political realities, it is simply not realistic to expect emission reductions needed to avert substantial global warming. Pindyck argues that investments in adaptation-developing new hybrid crops, discouraging building in flood-prone or wildfire-prone areas, building sea walls and dikes, and geoengineering-are needed to insure against catastrophic climate change events. We should invest now in adaptation, and Pindyck shows how that can be done.
