Project description:
In the future, recurring disasters related to climate change will affect nature and people in the Alpine region even more strongly and unpredictably than today. In order to cope with unpredictable climate events, ADAPTNOW is working on strengthening the adaptive capacity of highly affected and exposed areas. To this end, the project partners are implementing and evaluating the available tools and practices for climate adaptation and risk reduction. By bringing together different local actors, such as regional sectoral agencies and research centers, ADAPTNOW aims to make risk and adaptation planning more integrated, collaborative and inclusive.
