We research how marine climate change affects the ocean, ecosystems and the human activities that depend on them. We use science, advanced modelling and observation systems to develop solutions to predict their effects, reduce vulnerabilities and help to devise effective strategies for adaptation.
We systematically observe the marine and coastal environment and monitor key variables to support adaptive planning.
We generate future scenarios, simulations and develop predictive tools to anticipate the impacts of climate change on the marine and coastal environment. We identify risks, assess the vulnerability of the environment and analyse ecological and socio-economic effects.
We develop tools, models and systems to help regions and sectors to adapt: coastal infrastructures, marine spatial planning and early warning systems.
We propose solutions to reduce the impacts of climate change on the marine environment: decarbonising the fishing fleet, restoring ecosystems and encouraging responsible production and consumption.
Climate change is already reshaping our seas and coastlines, and organisations need to anticipate its impacts in order to adapt their management and reduce risks. Through our Climate Change line of work, we provide future scenario projections, impact assessments and advanced tools that support adaptation planning. We work alongside public bodies and companies in their strategic decision-making, helping them prepare for the future and build resilience in the face of a rapidly changing climate.
