International Forum on Climate Governance
The "International Forum on Climate Governance" (IFCG) is a
project coordinated by the Climate Impacts and Policy Division
of the Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change (CMCC) and funded
by the Italian Ministry of
the Environment and Land Protection.
The IFCG aims to spark a debate on initiatives at the international level,
designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to support the adaptation
of the economic and environmental systems to the changing climate patterns.
The activities of the IFCG are developed through the organisation of events
of international relevance, seminars, round tables, workshops and the implementation
of a training programme targeted to researchers and government officials
from developing countries.
The events are characterised by interdisciplinary and intercultural participation
with the contributions of experts in different disciplines from different
world regions. The crucial common denominator is the interaction with the
national and international political institutions and with NGOs and company
organisations.
The themes on the agenda are analysed from both a scientific
and a political approach. Special emphasis are placed on the positions
of the various stakeholders in view of identifying an area of shared interests
that may evolve into concrete policy proposals in the field of climate
change mitigation and adaptation.
