The establishment of the National Observatory for Climate Change Adaptation (Law 4936/2022) under the Ministry has strengthened monitoring of the country’s resilience, provided reliable data for policy design, and raised awareness among citizens and businesses. The “AIGIS” Programme focuses on upgrading infrastructure, early‑warning systems, support equipment, and operational assets, thereby improving disaster preparedness. Key challenges remain securing sufficient long‑term funding, staffing with interdisciplinary personnel, and reducing bureaucratic barriers. Deepening partnerships with regional authorities, local governments, and the private sector is essential for faster implementation of measures. Integrating digital tools for big‑data analytics and satellite information, along with targeted awareness campaigns, can further enhance risk management and collective response to the climate crisis.
