International Workshop “FACING TRANSBOUNDARY EXTREME EVENTS IN ALPINE REGIONS UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES”
In the framework of the TRANS-ALP Project on July 6th, 2022, EURAC Research, together with EPC srl, ARPAV, ZAMG and BWF organized this workshop, in order to provide a brief overview of the activities and preliminary results of the project, with the aim to foster an interdisciplinary discussion on current and perspective risks related to extreme hydrometeorological events. The workshop was held both online and in presence in a single sessions of high-level panellists’ speech, plus a Q&A session open to inputs, feedbacks and ideas from the audience.

THE TRANS-ALP PROJECT
The TRANS-ALP project aims to develop an integrated methodology for multi-hazard risk assessment and impact forecasting for mountainous regions at cross-border scale, in order to further advance the decision-making processes and support transnational cooperation along the disaster management cycle in the EU. Severe Storms are addressed as representative examples of complex hazards with cascaded/compounded components (such as floods and landslides) for which a lack of risk assessment and operational protocols has been observed in Alpine regions.
