The global impacts of climate change, particularly in mountainous regions like South Tyrol, highlight the urgent need for adaptation. This area is already experiencing a higher warming, with the average annual temperature having increased by 2°C since 1980. Additionally, extreme precipitation events are changing, with an average increase of 107 mm in annual intense precipitation in the province of Bolzano. Consequently, in addition to mitigation strategies, it is necessary to plan and implement climate change adaptation measures, particularly through the enhancement of the local adaptive capacity of Alpine regions. This pertains to the capability of systems, institutions, humans, and other organisms to react and adjust to potential adversities or to capitalize on emerging opportunities. Our contribution outlines a transdisciplinary methodology that, starting from an understanding of the local context and the assessment of the main climate risks impacting the district area of the Pusteria Valley in South Tyrol, involves local experts and stakeholders to leverage adaptive capacity, identify barriers and requirements for effective adaptation, and co-develop and implement tools to foster sectoral adaptation in the tourism and forestry sectors. The results of this applied methodology were developed together with a local institutional partner and are part of the INTERREG Alpine Space project ADAPTNOW, which is working on 7 pilot studies to co-develop and implement sectoral CCA tools.
