Group Picture taken during the first meeting of the COST Action Future Med in Bruxelles on October 6th 2023

The Mediterranean region stands as a poignant testament to the far-reaching impacts of climate change. From extreme weather events to rising sea levels and increased pollution, the consequences of global warming are acutely felt. In this climate change hotspot, the interconnection of risks creates a complex web that affects ecosystems, economic activities, and human health. Recognizing the need fo ...[Read More]

NP Interview: Federico Grazzini on Climate Change casts shadows on the present and the future of the Mediterranean Basin

Davide Faranda November 17, 2022

Monthly mean sea surface temperature averaged over western and central Mediterranean sea [0E - 22E], months April - November. The blue line corresponds to the recent climatology 1991-2020 with the shading respectively showing 1,2,3 standard deviations of the monthly averages from the mean. Symbols are showing this year values and, for comparison with a previous strongest marine heat wave, the values recorded in 2003.

Weather extreme events in the year 2022 are really hitting the Mediterranean basin very hard. Since the beginning of the year we are observing a widespread drought, heatwaves but also severe thunderstorms. Few days before the COP meeting in Sharm-el-sheik we discussed one of the experts of Mediterranean climate, Federico Grazzini, to unveil whether these events can be linked to climate change. Fe ...[Read More]
