Climate Change, Impacts and Adaptation Strategies in the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

Assessment of climate change in the Alps and it’s effects on natural hazards, spatial development and economy<br />

as well as development of a transnational flexible response network.<br />

Aim<br />

The Alps as relative densely populated mountains with several<br />

Metropolitan European Growth Areas (MEGAS) in the surrounding<br />

lowlands need a transnational strategy how to react<br />

on all kind of changes caused by climate change. The strategy<br />

consists of an evaluation and improved forecasting of climate<br />

change in the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong>, improved monitoring systems for<br />

natural hazards with comparable results, an analysis of climate<br />

change effects for key economic sectors e.g. tourism,<br />

a common understanding in the field of spatial planning, development<br />

of sustainable spatial development strategies and<br />

finally common response strategies against natural hazards.<br />

All modules shall be treated in an integrated approach inter<br />

linking the work on each part from the start of the project.<br />

Activities<br />

As a basis, a synopsis of existing information on historical and<br />

recent climate change in the Alps will be generated, climate<br />

models evaluated and corresponding natural hazards compiled.<br />

International expert conferences will serve as a knowledge<br />

platform providing future scenarios and risk potentials.<br />

The results will be used as input to the other activities.<br />

A comparison, assessment and enhancement of present<br />

monitoring techniques for natural hazards will be performed to<br />

improve the prevention and management of specific effects of<br />

climate change on nature in <strong>Alpine</strong> regions.<br />

The prediction and assessment of potential impacts of climate<br />

change on spatial development and key economic sectors<br />

(e.g. tourism, mobility, agriculture, forestry, settlements, industries)<br />

will be based on a general assessment of historical<br />

impacts as well as on current socio-economic trends.<br />

An in-depth analysis of current management tools and practices<br />

of the <strong>Alpine</strong> countries dealing with natural hazards will<br />

be carried out in which regional, national and transnational<br />

administrative methods for preventing and managing natural<br />

hazards will be studied and compared. Well proven methods<br />

identified or innovative approaches created will be implemented<br />

in risk management and networking strategies for new<br />

flexible response systems as instruments of risk prevention<br />

against natural hazards.<br />

Outcomes and results<br />

From all Work Packages of the project a synthesis report for<br />

political decision makers and administration will be derived.<br />

The compiled climate change scenarios for the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong><br />

can serve as a contribution to IPCC. A catalogue of natural<br />

risks affected by climate change and the forecasts of the future<br />

natural risk potential by climate change scenarios will be<br />

acquired.<br />

In the field of spatial planning public and key economic sectors,<br />

authorities get a solid and reliable basis to assess risk<br />

areas as well as re-evaluate the risk potential of already existing<br />

or planned settlement and economic areas.<br />

By the development of a flexible response network the public<br />

institutions of the <strong>Alpine</strong> <strong>Space</strong> which are responsible to warn<br />

against natural risks or which have to coordinate the reaction<br />

on natural threats get an optimised and transnational working<br />

instrument. This improves the prediction quality and saves the<br />

needed hours to react in time.
