Competence centre Climate Change and Territory (CCCT)
The Competence centre Climate Change and Territory transversally coordinates all interdisciplinary skills and activities associated with applied research, undergraduate and graduate studies and continuing education and service provision in the field of climate change.
This page brings together some relevant information and presents it in a summarised manner. Detailed information on the Competence centre Climate Change and Territory is available by visiting the Centre's website.
The Centre involves 50 researchers active in three macro areas of expertise.
Climate change adaptation
Study of ways to protect against natural hazards and the health of ecosystems, especially aquatic ones.
Climate change mitigation
Study of the most appropriate ways to transition to a low-carbon society.
In order to actively contribute to responding to the growing challenges posed by global climate change, the Department of Environment, Constructions and Design established the Competence centre Climate Change and Territory in 2022.

Employees and affiliates of the CCCT actively participate in numerous applied research projects, services and mediation proposals, in cooperation with numerous partners at local, national and international level, with a special focus on the South Alpine region.
The Competence centre Climate Change and Territory is committed to encouraging dialogue with the public on the issue of climate change through scientific mediation, the promotion of participatory processes and projects characterised by innovative design.
All the activities of the Competence Centre are possible thanks to the synergy between the internal competences of the Department of Environment, Constructions and Design of SUPSI and the active and continuous interaction with local partners.
