The workshop Mathematical Approach to Climate Change Impacts (MAC2I) has been styled to drive the attention within Italian academy and public research institutions towards applied mathematics research in environmental problems related to climate change. A number of renowned specialists delivered plenary lectures to introduce the hottest issues, contributed talks were selected in order to exemplify recent successful mathematical developments in this applicative field and two tutorials introduced the mathematical modelling tools to approach clue subjects. The program has been structured into four thematic sessions, respectively glaciology, hydrology, ecosystem science and environmental monitoring. Panel discussions and brain-storming were included as an opportunity for the emergence of new ideas in the right atmosphere to foster scientific international collaborations. The workshop, appropriate also within a PhD course program, was conceived in the context of the excellence project of applied mathematics MATH-TECH, funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) awarded to the Institute for Applied Mathematics (IAC) "M. Picone" of the National Research Council (CNR) and to the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INDAM) (2015-2017).

Abstract
The workshop Mathematical Approach to Climate Change Impacts (MAC2I) has been styled to drive the attention within Italian academy and public research institutions towards applied mathematics research in environmental problems related to climate change. A number of renowned specialists delivered plenary lectures to introduce the hottest issues, contributed talks were selected in order to exemplify recent successful mathematical developments in this applicative field and two tutorials introduced the mathematical modelling tools to approach clue subjects. The program has been structured into four thematic sessions, respectively glaciology, hydrology, ecosystem science and environmental monitoring. Panel discussions and brain-storming were included as an opportunity for the emergence of new ideas in the right atmosphere to foster scientific international collaborations. The workshop, appropriate also within a PhD course program, was conceived in the context of the excellence project of applied mathematics MATH-TECH, funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) awarded to the Institute for Applied Mathematics (IAC) "M. Picone" of the National Research Council (CNR) and to the Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica (INDAM) (2015-2017).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
