Transcript of CASE STUDIES Tourism : Tunisia, France, Cyprus, Croatia
CLIM-RUN (Climate Local Information in the Mediterranean region: Responding to User Needs) is a research project (2011-2014) funded by the EU Commission under the 7th Framework Programme.
aims to develop a Protocol for providing climate information for action from the regional to the local scale, tailored to different sectors of society. The time horizon of interest is the period 2010-2050 which encompasses the contributions of both inter-decadal variability and greenhouse-forced climate change.
CLIM-RUN follows a learning process in which the early involvement of stakeholders is crucial to establish productive two-way communication channels to identify well-defined climate information needs and assess the envisioned protocol for selected inter-dependent sectors (in particular, energy, tourism and natural hazards).
CLIM-RUN is also working on improved modelling and downscaling tools to optimally respond to the specific needs of end users. CLIM-RUN is intended to provide the seed for a Mediterranean basin-wide climate service network with the potential to converge into a pan-European network.

CLIMATE SERVICES PROTOCOLDraft General Structure
Overall process – the methodological key stages
o The business model (three tiers) for climate services
• Climate tier
• Intermediary (e.g., SME) tier
• Stakeholder tier
o Life cycle of Climate Services
o List of existing skills (data, model tools) and networks
o Need for coordination at national and European level.
Identification and selection of stakeholders
Communication with stakeholders
o Involvement of social science & impact experts
o Expectations and risks
Identification of user needs
o Priority ranking
Translation of needs
o Defining new research developments to answer the user needs
o Defining products
o Defining impacts transfer functions
Producing products
Assessing and refining products
o Feedback from stakeholder and intermediary (SME) levels to government /funding agencies to develop new products and research
Methodologies for evaluating the economic value of Climate Services
o Cost/benefit analysis
o Quality control and Certification?
Beyond CLIM-RUN: the lessons learnt
The North Adriatic second stakeholder workshop involved municipalities, local administrations and regional offices
