“ClimChAlp - Climate change, impacts and adaptation strategies in the Alpine Space” project aims to be a concrete input for a future Alpine Space Program based on alpine climate changes and its potential effects.
By a general assessment of climate models, historical climate changes and their impact, will be ascertained future scenarios and their effects on natural hazards, spatial development and key economic sectors.
The planned activities are organized in four thematic WPs and an additional synthesis WP.
The scientific WPs consist of: a synopsis of existing information on historical and recent climate change in the Alps (WP5), a comparison, assessment and enhancement of present monitoring techniques (WP6), prediction and assessment of potential impacts of climate change on spatial development and key economic sectors (e.g. tourism, mobility, agriculture, forestry, settlements, industries) (WP7), an in-depth analysis of current management tools and practices of the Alpine countries dealing with natural hazards (WP8), a recapitulating synthesis of the results attained in order to get a better understanding of the current and future impacts of climate change to the Alps (WP9).
Short description of the four thematic WPs and of the additional synthesis WP.
“WP 1 – Transnational Project Preparation Activities”
“WP 2 – Transnational Project Management„
“WP 3 – Project Management„
“WP 4 – Information and Publicity Activities”
“WP 5 – Climate Change and Resulting Natural Hazard”
“WP 6 – Monitoring, Prevention & Management of Specific Effects of Climate Change on Nature”
“WP 7 – Impacts of Climate Change on Spatial Development and Economy”
“WP 8 – Flexible Response Network”
“WP 9 – Synthesis and Processing”
