TransAlp International Workshop

Facing transboundary extreme events in alpine regions under climate change: challenges and perspectives

The workshop will provide a brief overview of the activities and preliminary results of the TRANS-ALP project, with the aim to foster an interdisciplinary discussion on current and perspective risks related to extreme hydrometeorological events.

TRANS - ALP PROJECT: Extreme hydrometeorological events such as late autumn and winter storms are being increasingly observed in southern Europe and particularly in the Alps, where they threaten environmental and socio-economic systems. The TRANS-ALP project has been analysing the occurrence of severe weather events that can be classified as extreme and their specific features in the cross-border area between Austria and Italy (Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol and Veneto), with the overall goal of developing 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.

FOR WHO? Civil Protection authorities, Decision Makers, Risk practitioners. From alpine region and other areas
