A set of physical and social indicators relevant to each Mediterranean case study has been developed within the context of the CIRCE case studies integrating framework. This framework approach provides a systematic means of structuring indicator selection and helps to provide a scientific basis for the assessment of climate-related impacts and vulnerability. A detailed set of criteria was developed to select and refine indicators through an iterative process of review and consultation. Indicators represent key issues related to climate variability and change for each of the case-study locations. Seven key indicator themes are identified: climate and atmosphere marine and coastal systems; terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity; freshwater systems; agriculture and forestry; human heath and well being; and the economy. A number of core indicators are common to all case studies, others are common across generic case studies, and some are case-study specific. The selected set of indicators proved a useful and accessible tool for monitoring trends and portraying key information to regional stakeholders.

Abstract
A set of physical and social indicators relevant to each Mediterranean case study has been developed within the context of the CIRCE case studies integrating framework. This framework approach provides a systematic means of structuring indicator selection and helps to provide a scientific basis for the assessment of climate-related impacts and vulnerability. A detailed set of criteria was developed to select and refine indicators through an iterative process of review and consultation. Indicators represent key issues related to climate variability and change for each of the case-study locations. Seven key indicator themes are identified: climate and atmosphere marine and coastal systems; terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity; freshwater systems; agriculture and forestry; human heath and well being; and the economy. A number of core indicators are common to all case studies, others are common across generic case studies, and some are case-study specific. The selected set of indicators proved a useful and accessible tool for monitoring trends and portraying key information to regional stakeholders.
