who we are
The “International Center for Climate Governance” (ICCG) is
a joint initiative of the Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and the Fondazione
Giorgio Cini (FGC), which focuses its research activities on the design
of climate policy and related governing institutions.
Located on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, in front of Saint
Mark’s Square in Venice, the ICCG gathers researchers in economics
and political sciences who explore the interdependencies between
the economic, social, cultural, religious and political aspects of climate
governance.
Fully interdisciplinary and open to the interaction and cooperation
between different worlds and cultures, the ICCG favours dialogues and negotiations
to achieve equitable and effective decisions on climate policy.
The ICCG promotes initiatives at the sectoral, regional, national,
and international level designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
in the atmosphere and to facilitate the adaptation of economic and environmental
systems, particularly in developing countries, to the changing
climate patterns.
The activities for the three years 2009-2011 have been funded by the Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea through the cooperation between ICCG and the Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change.
