The time horizon of interest is the period 2010-2050 which encompasses the contributions of both inter-decadal variability and greenhouse-forced climate change. CLIM-RUN follows a learning process in which the early involvement of stakeholders is crucial to establish productive two-way communication channels to identify well-defined climate information needs and assess the envisioned protocol for selected inter-dependent sectors (in particular, energy, tourism and natural hazards). CLIM-RUN is also working on improved modelling and downscaling tools to optimally respond to the specific needs of end users. CLIM-RUN is intended to provide the seed for a Mediterranean basin-wide climate service networkwith the potential to converge into a pan-European network.
