MountResilience

MountResilience (Accelerating transformative climate adaptation for higher resilience in European mountain regions) aims to support mountain regions and communities in their transition towards a climate-resilient society. To do so, innovative solutions will be developed and tested in 6 demonstrator regions, together addressing a variety of challenges from water management to transition in the tourism sector. Those solutions will be nature-based at their core and will address the political, governance and societal needs of the territories concerned.

These multi-level, multidimensional and replicable climate change adaptation (CCA) solutions will then be scaled up in other regional and local settings, in a process involving 4 so called “replicator” regions, as well as a broader Community of Practice on CCA in mountain areas that will be developed by Euromontana during the project.

MountResilience brings together 47 partners from 12 European countries, representing the great diversity of mountain areas, actors and challenges. Euromontana leads the activities relevant to dissemination, policy uptake, and the development of a European Community of Practice on CCA in mountain areas. Several members of Euromontana are also involved in MountResilience: UNIMONT (University of Milan) (Italy) as coordinator, as well as the Innovation Centre of the Podkarpackie Region (Poland), the Center for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications CREAF (Spain), the Government of Catalonia (Spain), and the Italian National Union of Mountain Municipalities UNCEM (Italy).
