New Publication addressing Climate Change Impacts on Mediterranean Agriculture

The CMCC (Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici), in collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and the University of Thessaly (UTH), have co-authored a new study focusing on the impacts of climate change on Mediterranean agriculture. The publication, titled “Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Crop Yields in the Mediterranean: A Multi-Model Approach,” has been released in the Environmental Processes journal.

Summary of the Publication: This study employs a multi-model approach to evaluate how climate change scenarios affect crop yields in the Mediterranean region. By integrating climate projections with crop simulation models, the research provides insights into potential yield changes for key crops such as wheat, maize, and olives. The findings highlight regions that are particularly vulnerable to yield reductions and suggest adaptation strategies to mitigate adverse effects.
