General objectives
GRINS will provide: i) accurate measurement and multi-disciplinary analysis of socio-economic conditions of the actors of the economic system: firms, households, and public administrations. (ii) analysis of strategies and policies to improve the adaptation to the green, digital and mobility transitions and the resilience of firms, households and regions to economic and financial shocks. (iii) measurement of the factors underlying regional divides and gaps (in terms of infrastructure, human capital, entrepreneurship, quality of public services and efficiency of local public administrations), and the design of policies to favour territorial sustainability, the development of stagnant and peripherical regions, the reduction of the centre-periphery divides within cities.

CMCC role
CMCC supports the development AMELIA (dAta platforM for the transfEr of knowLedge and statistIcal Analysis), an Online Data Platform giving access to high quality data and instruments for data analysis for a wide range of applications. CMCC coordinates WP1 in SPOKE 6: Low Carbon Policies. The WP focuses on the broader implications of climate change. It investigates the socio-economic and biophysical impacts of a changing climate and produces scenarios of how the world would look like if large investments required to tackle climate change are going to be implemented.

Activities
List of activities where CMCC is involved: (i) scenarios of emission reductions based on different global and EU targets; (ii) assessment of the co-benefits of carbon offset strategies, by analysing the cascading effects of mitigation policies on air pollution and ultimately health improvements, by estimating the regressive impacts of climate policies and the implications in terms of energy poverty; (iii) analysis of the impact of individuals’ engagement in the reduction of primary energy consumption; (iv) analysis of direct/spillover effects of information programs and campaigns.

Expected results
The main result of GRINS is the release of the AMELIA platform. AMELIA guarantees interactivity, replicability, and scalability and it is centred around three major core themes: (i) resilience of key economic actors (households, firms, public administrations), (ii) territorial and (iii) social sustainability and the related enabling strategies. Its main value added is to allow accurate data integration of several heterogeneous data sources to build new knowledge for all relevant decision-making activities. GRINS will also implement pilot initiatives as a first step to address long-standing problems both for researchers and decision makers, namely the integration of different existing administrative data with external information coming from ad-hoc surveys that will complement the existing (but partial) information from administrative sources. The work plan foresees specific exploitation activities to define a strategy for the long-terms sustainability of the initiative and survive after the end of the 3-year period of financial support granted by the NRRP. Among the sustainability scenarios to be taken into consideration there will be, for instance, the search for other public and private funds (through national and international funding programmes, such as Horizon Europe), and the possibility to raise resources through marketing some of the services provided by the platform.
