CLAMER

CLAMER FP7 project aims to raise the awareness of European citizens and society at large to the effects of climate change on the marine environment and their socio-economic consequences. 

The project builds upon the concept that there is a gap between what is known through research and what policy makers and the public know and understand about the impacts of Climate Change on the Oceans; and that this gap needs to be filled to help catalyse formulation and acceptance of the necessary mitigation and adaptation measures for the marine environment.  

CLAMER objectives:

• To assess and summarize state-of-the art knowledge of results and public perception of EU research climate change impacts on the marine environment, including the socio-economic consequences;
• To organize an international conference to promote and exploit EU research results related to climate change impacts on the marine environment and address public perception;
• To organize additional outreach events and activities to obtain wide and balanced information and participation from affected European countries and beyond.  

The project started on 01 April 2010 and will last for an 18-month period. Coordinator: Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ).
