Mountains are the most affected territories by natural risks and it is foreseen that those risks will increase due to climate change &ndash risks which do not know administrative boarders and require a transnational coordination.
To respond to this challenge, MONTCLIMA provides a transnational strategic framework to prevent and manage natural risks in the Southwestern Mountains. It develops 4 pilot projects:
– Innovation and culture of wine to prevent soils erosion
– Adaptative forests’ management to prevent forest fires and improve the resilience to dryness
– Improvement of the protector role of forests and
– Follow-up of the river basins’ dynamics to reduce the risks of torrent flooding.
Among others, some of the main tools will be a mapping with information on vulnerable areas, the history of catastrophes in mountain areas and a collection of good practices
