Climate change is a top ten favourite topic in most media we come across every day. But only some aspects are usually discussed: why, how and what is going to happen next. What if now we start considering climate change in a more complex and multifaceted way? What if we look at it as a result of social dynamics, economic issues, effects on human health, impacts on agriculture and forest and many other criteria with the help of new scientific methods? The CIRCE Integrated Project, funded under the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme, aims to reach this objective, highlighting impacts and possible adaptation actions of the climate change in the Mediterranean region, that includes Europe, North Africa and Middle East.

In this website, we would like not only to circulate the outcomes and the results of the project but also to start building up a new culture of climate change issues. For this reason this tool has been thought for different publics: stakeholders (all the people like governments, NGOs and citizens actively involved in fighting climate change), press (media interested in talking about environment and issues related to global warming), schools (since it is fundamental to educate tomorrow's citizens since the very beginning) and of course researchers (the scientific community not participating in CIRCE).

We know that CIRCE cannot hold all the possible studies in climate science in the Mediterranean area but it needs continuous feed-back and interactions with other projects. In order to get update CIRCE community and all the users of this website, we collect articles related to climate change.
