NbS in mountain areas

Adaptation to climate change has become a central and urgent topic to be addressed by research institutions. In this urgency, Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) offer an adaptive approach integrating ecological and social dimensions, enhancing the capacity to anticipate and recover from climate impacts. However, in mountain regions, where climate change progresses even faster, practical examples are not well-defined or structured. Some European projects, such as MountResilience (financed by the European Commission – Horizon Europe Mission Adaptation to Climate Change), are born to address these challenges by supporting transformative climate adaptation in mountain regions. As an example, in order to enhance the knowledge about specific practices, the project is developing an online and opensource database of NbS and best practices for mountain adaptation. This workshop aims to discuss and provide concrete case studies and examples of NbS applicable to mountain areas in different key sectors such as tourism, agriculture, risk-prevention.
