Launched during the pre-COP21 conference “Our Common Future under Climate Change,” in July 2015, the European Hub is UCCRN’s first Regional Hub. Hosted at Université Gustave Eiffel and Sorbonne Université in Paris, and at University Federico II in Napoli, the Hub is co-directed by Prof. Mattia Federico Leone (UNINA), Prof. Bruno Barroca (UGE) and Dr. Chantal Pacteau at CNRS.
The UCCRN European Hub aims to promote integrated climate change responses based on knowledge-sharing and collaboration between global scholars, institutions, local governments, and industry while acknowledging the richness and diversity of Europe’s scientists and practitioners. Local and specific solutions are recognized as foundations for lasting solutions.
The European Hub is involved in several research and educational projects and workshops to set a coordination and implementation agenda reflecting the highest priority climate and development issues that European cities face. Several researchers, public officials and practitioners of the Hub are actively involved as authors in the UCCRN ARC3 reporting series, representing local organizations and institutions, as well as international organization such as IPCC, UNEP and the World Bank.
