The CMCC Foundation (Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici) is a research center headquartered in Italy that studies the interaction between climate change and society. Its work spans the physical science of climate, environmental impacts, economic analysis, and policy support. The organization operates at the intersection of climate science and decision-making for public and private stakeholders.
Its technical capabilities are rooted in advanced computation and high performance computing (HPC), which underpin its work in climate modelling and Earth system predictions. Research areas include climate resilience and environmental economics, reflecting a scope that extends from atmospheric physics to socioeconomic analysis.
CMCC functions as both a research institute and a training institution, focused on developing the next generation of climate scientists. It provides scientific analysis to inform policymakers and offers consulting services to businesses. The foundation's cross-disciplinary structure is designed to bridge the gap between scientific research and practical application in policy and business contexts.
