The current climate change has encouraged interdisciplinary collaboration to better understand the role that climate may have played in the development of past Mediterranean societies. Over the past twenty years, palaeoenvironmental research in the Mediterranean has progressed significantly, mainly based on marine, lake, marsh, peat bog and fluvial archives. These records demonstrate the long anthropogenic impact on the Mediterranean ecosystems but also provide evidence of significant climatic instability with notable periods of rapid climate change (RCC) at the global scale during the Holocene (9.2, 8.2, 6-5, 4.2, 3.2 ka cal. BP (c. 7.2, 6.2, 4-3, 2.2, 1.2 ka BC). The study of the climate in the last millennium is of particular interest because this period encompasses the most recent pre-industrial warm interval known as the Medieval Climate Anomaly followed by the coldest centuries of the Little Ice Age, which was interrupted around 1850 by the industrial era. In parallel with major progress in generating proxy signals, model simulations of the climate in last millennium using stateof-the-art coupled ocean-atmosphere models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) allow cross-analyses of proxy and model data to explore the physical mechanisms at play and the role of external factors like solar activity, volcanism, land use and greenhouse gases in climate variability.
