4. CMCC in the Mediterranean Mediterranean Climate Outlook Forum MedCOF -Overarching among three COF: PRESANORD, SEECOF and a new COF for the Western Mediterranean -Part of the steering committee Mediterranean climate change cities consortium MC4: -Steering committee - representing Mediterranean basin -Focus on adaptation to climate change in cities Climate Adapt Platform European Environmental Agency -Mediterranean Region -South East Europe Data provision HOW?:

5. CMCC climate services in the Mediterranean WHAT? -Production of climate predictions and climate change projections -Development of new information systems and diagnostic tools -Provision of scientific support and climate-related information -Interaction with stakeholders -Development of tailored sectorial climate products -Probalistic skill: reliability Eastern Mediterranean -Deterministic skill: anomaly correlation coefficient -Outlooks April-September, May-October,.. WHY? -Climate science targeted and precised timely information = crucial to elaborate better planning policies -Involve stakeholders in the decision-making process -Make economic savings -Make the right political and strategic decisions -Increase resilience to a changing climate. WHO? -Six target groups for the moment: public sector, energy, transports, insurance, agriculture/ecosystems and tourism HOW?:
