Descrizione

AdaptAlp is an Alpine Space Programme (Priority 3: Environment and Risk Prevention) project, part of the European Territorial Cooperation 2007-2013. With the overall aim of assessing impacts and adaptation to climate change in the Alpine Space, 16  partners from six different countries are working on:

• the consolidation of the cooperation in the Alpine space on the prevention of the risk and on the methods of management of the risk;
•  the supply of data for the European Floods directive and the European INSPIRE directive;
• the supply of data from models and observations in the Alpine area in order to produce more accurate forecasts of natural disasters and estimates of impacts;
•  the formulation of a transnational cognitive platform in the Alpine area about the evaluation of the risks and the mapping of natural disasters in order to elaborate some transnational guide-lines by taking into account the impacts of climate change;
•  the support of adaptation actions on a transnational, national, regional and local level, through the opening of coordinated campaigns on the risks management and comunication;
•  the implementation of activities connected to the adaptation to climate change in the Alpine area.
