What is CLIM-RUN?
Design and implementation of a Climate Services protocol for optimizing the two-way information transfer (bottom-up /up-bottom) between climate experts and stakeholders
Advancement of the science underpinning the production of detailed climate information at regional to local scales tailored for stakeholder needs
Test of the protocol via its application to a number of real world case studies in the Mediterranean area (mainly on Energy & Tourism and Natural hazards)
CLIM-RUN (2011-2014) Objectives
