The Mediterranean regions of the world are climate risk hotspots with concurrent climate extremes and complex compound events representing threats for their societies, economic and financial sectors, and ecosystems. Characterising past changes, current trends, emerging patterns, and future possible evolution is essential as well as understanding the processes associated with and their dynamics.
This session aims at promoting a multi-disciplinary approach to climate risks to deal with these increasingly complex challenges, design and develop effective solutions and practices, and build the path towards resilience. Studies on observed and reconstructed past changes as well as on future climate projections focused on physical, biogeochemical, and socio-economic aspects are all welcome. Analyses looking at emerging patterns and at extremes such as drought, floods, wildfire, heatwaves also inspired by recent events are highly encouraged. Similarly, socio-economic contributions on the Mediterranean regions in relation to the other areas of the world are invited to this interdisciplinary session.
