Summer School on Climate Change Impacts and Policy in the Mediterranean Basin
Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice - May 20-24, 2013.

The Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) and the International Center for Climate Governance (ICCG) are pleased to announce their first edition of the Summer School on “Climate Change Impacts and Policy in the Mediterranean Basin” for postgraduate students.

The main purpose of the School is to deeply investigate the key issues of the Climate Change Impacts and Policy in the Mediterranean Basin with the objective to enhance a real awareness among students, policy makers, governments and representatives of the local communities involved in the field. In doing this, an interaction between various disciplines and a deep analysis of multiple factors appears to be fundamental for achieving a concrete understanding of the peculiar situation of the Mediterranean basin.

The Summer School will take place from May 20th to May 24th, 2013 at the ICCG and CMCC (CIP Division) offices on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, in Venice, located just in front of St. Mark’s Square.
