In the framework of the GEO-CRADLE project, the DEAR-Clima application was developed, for exporting regional climatic data. This application is a user-friendly interactive tool that visualizes and provides time-series of important climatic parameters and indicators. 

The MPA ENGAGE project is related to the adaptation and mitigation of Climate Change on Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the Mediterranean Sea.

The indicative actions of the project include:

• Assessing the vulnerability of biodiversity in MPAs in relation to climate change, 
• Evaluating socio-economic impacts, 
• Developing and implementing scientific monitoring protocols to track the effects of climate change, 
• Raising public awareness through specific communication activities, 
• Strengthening Citizen Science initiatives, 
• Developing a climate change adaptation plan.

SALAM-MED identifies, tests, and validates nature-based practical solutions to enhance the resilience of threatened socio-ecological systems in Mediterranean drylands or to restore degraded ecosystems in arid and hyper-arid regions. The project explores the following solutions:

1. Adaptive vegetation management,
2. Integrated olive grove management,
3. Innovative technologies to improve grazing management and preserve ecosystem services in degraded rangelands within agroforestry systems,
4. Water harvesting and groundwater retention technologies,
5. Microbial consortia for improved productivity in drylands,
6. Managed aquifer recharge,
7. Wadi basin water harvesting.

The project aims to improve citizens’ quality of life and increase resilience, by slowing down and ultimately reversing urban climate change.

Its specific objectives are:

1) The analysis of thermal stress under specific climate scenarios at the city level. 

2) The improvement of the microclimate and urban environment through targeted bioclimatic design interventions. 

3) The application of this methodology. It can also extend to buildings, resulting in reduced demand for electricity and fuel. 

4) The pilot implementation of the BIOASTY methodology in selected areas. This will serve as a model for improving microclimatic conditions in other municipalities and regions. 

The project aims to support the adaptation of olive cultivation to climate change by monitoring the evolution of key climate parameters and derived indicators that affect olive production, as well as by developing an early warning system for potential risks associated with climatic conditions such as disease and weed infestations.  

Objectives: 

• Τhe aim of the GenTree Project is the provision of improved knowledge, methods, and tools for the management and sustainable use of forest genetic resources in Europe, in light of the threats posed by climate change.

• Project’s research focuses on innovation, through the design of new strategies for the conservation of forest genetic resources in European forests, the expansion of the genetic resources used in European forest tree breeding programs, and the integration of conservation and improvement strategies to create a new framework for the development of an adaptive forest management system. 

• Research focused on the 12 most important forest tree species in Europe, based on economic, ecological, and social criteria.
