Introduction to CMCC

     CMCC    is the Italian Research Centre on Climate Science and Policy.
    Supported by the Italian Ministry for the Environment Land and Sea, the Ministry
    for Education, University and Research and the Ministry for Economy

     CMCC   was established in 2005 from the experience of Six Italian
    Research Institutions (Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia,
    Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei, Università degli Studi del Salento, Centro Italiano
    Ricerche Aerospaziali, Consorzio Venezia Ricerche, Università degli Studi del
    Sannio).

     CMCC hosts the IPCC Italian Focal Point

CMCC Mission

      To act as a vertically integrated research centre
      able to produce scientific studies, assessments and
            investigations in climate change science,
                             CMCC mission is to act as a unique
    contributing to develop strategies       and to inform policies,
                             vertically integrated research centre
               with a global able
                              approach
                                  to producebut   a with
