RÉSUMÉ
Source : INTERREG IIIB Alpine Space Programme
Ce projet a impliqué 15 organismes partenaires.
Climate change is to a large extent constituted of increasing temperatures and changed precipitation patterns. Any change of these critical factors has implications on the frequency and extent of natural hazards. The uncertainties and the increase of natural hazards due to the impacts of climate change require concerted management in the Alpine Space.
AdaptAlp will improve information on impacts of climate change especially on regional level (e.g. high resolution modeling, design events) and evaluate different methods of risk assessment, hazard mapping and risk management in the Alpine Space. The activities concentrate on the identification of best methods and the transfer of best practice experiences into adaptation measures in model regions. Risk reduction by raising the awareness of local stakeholders is a further issue in AdaptAlp. The know-how generated in AdaptAlp will be synthesised and integrated into practice of technical authorities. Recommendations will be given to policy makers and local stakeholders.
