“Climate Change and extreme events in the Alpine area: how to be prepared”
The main aims of the event:
The main aims of the event were: to increase preparedness of Alpine territories towards Climate Change / Extreme events risks; to draw the attention of local & regional Authorities and Policy Makers on threats, but also on available instruments and opportunities; create a link and dialogue between researchers and users, to accelerate “technology transfer” and the pratical application of research results into Preparedness and Prevention applications.

What is Trans-Alp?
The TRANS-ALP project has been implemented by a consortium of environmental, meteo-hydrological and earth observations institutes from Austria and Italy, with the purpose of better understanding the threats related to extreme events at cross-border scale and elaborating new methodologies to improve the impact forecasting of extreme events in the mountain areas. The project is drawing to its conclusion and the partnership wanted to organise a final conference to sharing and discussing future perspectives with experts and stakeholders.
