As climate change threatens local communities relying on mountaineering for their livelihood, we inquire into solutions that can be implemented to mitigate the risk in high-altitude mountaineering.
Narratives and practices for climate change adaptation in a forest dieback context. Case study of the Doller Valley in the mid-mountain massif of Vosges (Haut-Rhin, France).
We analyze the narratives of change and the forest renewal practices implemented in the Doller Valley. We show the interplay of ideological and empirical changes driven by climate-change adaptation.
