Fundación para la Investigación del Clima (FIC) is an independent non-profit organization founded in Spain in 1996 whose purpose is to improve adaptation to climate change through research and capacity building.

After almost 20 years of research, FIC developed one of the most powerful statistical downscaling tools for generating local climate scenarios: FICLIMA.
